LEADER funding
LEADER is a methodical approach to regional development that enables local people to help shape regional processes. LEADER funding can be applied for in order to better utilize the potential of a region for its development.
Private individuals and public actors have the opportunity to apply for funding for projects in the following fields of action:
- Village and urban development
- Regional economy & energy
- Tourism and regional identity
- Natural and cultural landscape
LEADER is supported by so-called Local Action Groups (LAGs).
The LAG Erbeskopf in Hermeskeil is responsible for our region, including the town of Idar-Oberstein. On their homepage you will find all information about LEADER in general, the call for funding, project applications and the project process.
The first point of contact and supporter for inner-city projects is the City of Idar-Oberstein's business development team.
