€2.5m in LEADER grants for niche tourism, food, and circular economy businesses  The new LEADER 2023-2027 Programme has almost €2.5 million in grant aid available for the enterprise and social enterprise sectors in Co Wexford between now and 2027. Tom Bermingham, LEADER Programme Coordinator at Wexford Local Development (WLD) confirmed that grant aid of up to 60% of eligible costs is now available for niche new and expanding businesses. In a change from previous LEADER Programmes, grant aid for projects which facilitate job creation and economic development is confined to business involved in tourism, food and/or the circular economy.   Mindful that promotion of the circular and bio-economy in Wexford can bring significant environmental and economic benefits, the new LEADER Programme will prioritise projects that address climate change, demonstrate environmental sustainability, resource efficiency, job sustainability and job creation. With the triple aims of delivering sustainable economic growth, reducing waste, and preserving natural resources.   In terms of tourism, WLD will prioritise projects that promote sustainable tourism and adopt eco-friendly practices. This will include alternative accommodation types that will attract more visitors, create new employment opportunities, boost the local economy, protect, and enhance our county’s environment and at the same time, preserve the natural and cultural heritage of the county. Meanwhile, niche, innovative food and beverage businesses will continue to be supported with LEADER grant aid for equipment as well as marketing supports.   Acknowledging that social enterprises combine business principles with positive social and/or environmental purposes, LEADER will support social enterprises that develop new and innovative solutions to challenges not adequately addressed by the state or private enterprise. This includes community tourism focused social enterprises that empower local communities, preserve cultural heritage, protect the environment, and ensure that the economic benefits of tourism contribute to the overall well-being of the community.   For details on eligibility and how to apply visit www.wld.ie/leader
