Grants

Cork City Council is committed to supporting and investing in local businesses through a new City Façade Improvement Programme that aims to revitalise our city’s core retail area and strengthen the visual appeal and local economy of Cork.

Financial assistance is available through this programme under two support grants St Patrick Street Painting Grant scheme and St Patrick Street Shopfront Scheme the programme is administered by the City Centre Development and Operations Directorate of Cork City Council. Both schemes are informed by the City Development plan 2022 - 2028 in its objectives to protect and enhance the historic streetscape while promoting high quality shop design and strengthening the character of key retail areas. The programme is driven by policy to encourage traditional materials, sensitive signage and visually appealing facades that reinforce the identity of Cork City.

The grants are available for any building along Grande Parade / Patrick Street between St Augustine’s and Lavitt’s Quay/Merchant’s Quay).

Eligible applicants can apply for both schemes for a single building where relevant.
