Mayor urges communities to apply for e-centre enterprise grants

THE mayor of Cork County has urged communities to apply for grants as part of a €1.25 million initiative designed to boost small enterprises in towns and villages.

Cllr Tim Lombard said grants of up to €35,000 are now being made available to individual communities who would like to set up “hot desks” and e-centres in their local areas.

Hot desks give businesses a low-cost and low-risk way of starting and running a business.
