The Programme aims to support capital projects which deliver on ambitions such as town centre revitalisation and community led regeneration, and are shaped by the needs and aspirations of local communities
Last September Members of the Council's Economy and Infrastructure Committee agreed that an area-based approach would be adopted to manage the Scottish Government's Place Based Investment Programme grant for 2021/22 £1,963,000.

The Chair of The Highland Council's Economy and Infrastructure Committee, Cllr Trish Robertson, said: "Seven of the Council's Area Committees have invited applications under the first round of this Place-Based Investment programme. This area-based funding support can really give a boost to local projects geographically spread across the Highlands, so I want to remind community groups and local organisations to make sure they submit their applications in time."
