BUSINESSES in Lutterworth are invited to apply for grants to help them recover from the pandemic.
Harborough District Council (HDC) has opened the second round of its Additional Restrictions Grant (ARG) scheme.
The council launched the scheme in August to boost business recovery, growth, and innovation following the national coronavirus lockdowns.
In the first round of grants, the council handed out around £210,000 in grants to over 100 businesses.
Examples of support included equipment to support business diversification and sustainability, website development, server upgrades, gazebos for pop-up stalls, digital training courses, vehicle adaptations, and PPE equipment.
HDC Leader Coun Phil King said: “I’m delighted that businesses once again have this opportunity. These grants are a joint enterprise allowing businesses to invest their own money, as required, with additional investment provided through grants, to help them trade in innovative, cleaner and greener ways.”
Applications to the second round of grants will close on Monday December 13, with the third and final round opening in early January 2022.
