GROW South Antrim celebrated becoming the first group to award funding for farm diversification and business creation and development under the Rural Development Programme (RDP) 2007-2013 - Press Release
GROW offers a wide range of support to assist new businesses to set up or to help existing businesses with less than 10 employees to develop or expand and to help farmers diversify into non-agricultural activities, generating additional income and increasing sustainability.
GROW South Antrim is responsible for distributing funding from the Rural Development Programme 2007 - 2013 in the rural wards of Antrim, Carrickfergus and Newtownabbey Borough Councils. The Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 is part financed by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) and the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
At a local level the programme is strategically delivered by a Joint Committee representing all three Councils and implemented by a Local Action Group comprised of representatives from the area from business, community, agriculture, council and statutory sectors.
