LEADER Déodatie: strengthening shops and the local economy
The action seeks to maintain a local economy, make it easier for producers to diversify and make the most of local resources. The catalogue indicates up to 80% of eligible costs. For certain shops, it sets specific conditions, notably a floor area of less than 400 m² and a location in a municipality with fewer than 3,500 inhabitants; check the exact scope of these criteria in the official action sheet.
In the Pays de la Déodatie, this action supports local economic vitality, particularly short supply chains, diversification by small producers and local shops. It may involve setting up, taking over, renovating or extending a shop, subject to certain size and location conditions, as well as crafts and local supply chains. The project must demonstrate its usefulness for the local economy and its consistency with the action sheet’s rules.
