Monmouthshire County Council is offering grants to improve town centre properties in Abergavenny, Caldicot, Chepstow, Magor with Undy, Monmouth, and Usk.
The scheme supports projects that bring vacant spaces back into use or enhance historic and run-down buildings.
Funding is limited and awarded on a rolling basis, so early applications are encouraged before the 31 August deadline.
Sheds housing nearly 200,000 broiler chickens at a Herefordshire farm are to be demolished and rebuilt to a higher standard.
A planning application by Avara Foods, one of the county’s largest employers, says the replacement sheds at Parkway Farm, Madley west of Hereford would have the same footprint as the current eight within the two-hectare site, and “will not result in any increase in floor area, bird numbers, or operational intensity”.
