Six Mayo Built Heritage projects are to benefit from funding of €74,300 announced today by government under The Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS).
The scheme assists owners of heritage structures, including those on the local authorities’ Record of Protected Structures and those in Architectural Conservation Areas, to meet their obligations to care for their properties by providing match-funded grants of up to €15,000 for standard projects.
Announcing today’s projects in Mayo to secure funding, Deputy Alan Dillon explained that the scheme is not limited to private dwellings; it also provides assistance to a wide range of other important heritage structures.
