Benalmadena Council just approved modifications to the Strategic Grants Plan for this year, which introduces financial aid to help support different community sectors.
The approved measures will help residents struggling with property tax (IBI) payments, local traders and hospitality businesses affected by street works, and the Benalmadena Association for Disability Care (ABAD), which has already received €300,000 to build a new day centre.
The council will also provide additional grants through competitive bids to help hospitality businesses invest in terraces that meet the regulations of the council. The council also put aside €800,000 to encourage hotels to operate all year round and to fund new investments that improve competitiveness, making Benalmadena’s more attractive as a tourist destination.
A further €250,000 has been reserved to aid businesses affected by public works projects. This subsidy targets public ground-floor dining, service and commercial establishments.
The grants will help Benalmadena to compensate for its focus on supporting the most vulnerable residents, improving economic sustainability, and improving infrastructure. This will ensure that Benalmadena remains a wonderful place to work, live, and visit.
