Architectural Conservation Grant Schemes
Financial Assistance for Architectural Conservation Works in Ballina, Co. Mayo under the Historic Towns Initiative (HTI)
The Historic Towns Initiative 2024 aims to provide support to historic towns engaged in a programme of heritage-led regeneration. We are particularly interested in projects in the Pearse Street Architectural Conservation Area (ACA), Ballina. We welcome projects that propose appropriate conservation-led works and repairs, projects that address dereliction and residential vacancy, and streetscape conservation projects.
The aim of the HTI is to provide financial assistance to owners in carrying out appropriate conservation works to historic properties located within the Pearse Street Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) which includes Pearse Street, Tone Street, Tolan Street, O’Rahilly Street, Casement Street, Walsh Street and James Connolly Street.
The scheme will provide grants of between €2,500 and €30,000.
Successful applicants will be notified in November 2024.
Applications must be made using the HTI Application Form. A suitable method statement drawn up by a competent conservation professional must be submitted by the applicant and give details of how conservation/repair works will be carried out. Under the HTI the total value of all public funding provided must not exceed 80% of the total project cost including funding received from other public agencies and government departments.
Completed applications, with the relevant supporting documentation including method statements, photographs and quotations must be submitted by hard copy only to Architectural Conservation Office, Architects Department, Mayo County Council, Áras an Chantae, Castlebar, Co. Mayo
