Description

Property owners on Gebrookerplein, Hoofdstraat (from Markt to Gebrookerplein), Nieuwstraat (between Gebrookerplein and Marktstraat) or Marktstraat can apply for the subsidy. Tackling, improving and restoring facades makes a valuable contribution to improving the appearance of Hoensbroek-Centrum. With the new scheme, property owners can apply for a subsidy to tackle their outdated, ugly or dull facade. 

Covered are:

  • restoring facades with cultural-historical and/or image-defining value to their original state
  • removal of image disrupting/disfiguring objects and components on facades 
  • restoring facade ensembles.
  • You may also be able to get a grant to repair more facades that together form a single unit and enhance the streetscape.

Requirements

Requirements for facades in Hoensbroek-Centrum for grant funding are: 

  • Restore buildings/facades with cultural-historical and/or iconic value to their original condition.
  • Restore architecture by putting properties back "feet on the ground"; aligning and connecting the first floor with the rest of the facade.
  • Restore facade ensembles. 
  • Removal of image disturbing/disfiguring objects and parts on facades
  • Restoring facades to their former state through repair work
  • Restoration contributes to more/better or appropriate use of the entire property again, for example, because it is now (partially) vacant.

Term

The grant scheme runs until Dec. 31, 2027, or until the grant amount of €200,000 is exhausted.
