The Rural Conversion Grant Programme provides assistance to micro businesses for converting redundant rural buildings into business use when new jobs are created or existing jobs are safeguarded. The grant is funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and the Welsh Assembly Government. Applicants must be micro businesses employing less than 10 people and have a turnover less than 2 million euros. Grants will fund 50% of eligible project costs or £20,000 per job created, whichever is lower. Interested applicants should contact Mike Bull at Carmarthenshire County Council for an application form.
