Argyll and Bute Council has launched the first phase of the Tarbert Heritage Regeneration Scheme, with the restoration of historic buildings being one of the key aims of the initiative.
The council has awarded £60,000 to the project, while the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Historic Environment Scotland have both committed £40,000 each. The council has also appointed a project officer to develop the scheme…
The council also plans to carry out cost analyses of potential priority buildings, conduct a skills audit in the local area, and develop an energy efficiency scheme.
Alastair Redman, the council’s policy lead for economic growth and communities, said: “Our aim with the Tarbert Heritage scheme is to replicate the success of other regeneration projects already launched in areas such as Rothesay, Dunoon, Campbeltown and Lochgilphead…”
