which assists building owners with under used and vacant upper floors within the town centre area and helps them address the issue of oversized commercial units at ground floor.
The scheme is part of the Scottish Government’s Town Centre Fund which is an investment to make town centres more diverse, sustainable, and successful in the face of changing and evolving retail patterns.
