| Please note that the Northwest Regional Development
Agency is not accepting any new grant applications, or processing
existing ones, at the present time.
Government has required us to substantially reduce our expenditure and as a result we have embarked on a comprehensive project review, including how we provide financial support for the region's businesses. We appreciate this may cause some uncertainty, particularly if you have an application underway; if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact your usual Agency contact. More information is available on the NWDA website. |
