Moniaive Initiative
The motion
That the Parliament congratulates the Moniaive Initiative on its success on being awarded £56,691 in the latest round of Scottish Land Fund awards, which distributed £700,000 to support communities to buy land and buildings; notes that the award will be used to purchase a commercial unit on Moniaive High Street and that this will be converted into a charity shop, information point, office space and multi-purpose accommodation for a variety of local clubs and organisations; further notes that the Scottish Land Fund, funded by the Scottish Government, provides grants of up to £1 million and practical support to encourage community ownership; wishes the Moniaive Initiative well in its transformation of the property; believes that this will further enhance the attractiveness of a vibrant rural village and cultural centre, and encourages other communities in South Scotland to explore empowerment opportunities with the Scottish Land Fund.
