funding
Oban Bay Marine's plans to provide a short stay pontoon development in Oban was the highest scoring individual project in Argyll and Bute's Project Board for regeneration funds for the 5 towns of Argyll and was allocated a grant £900,000.
Meetings with other funding sources continue.
These proposed facilities
- will be of considerable benefit to local boat users and operators
- will be attractive to visitors
- will bring money into the local community
- and will also allow Argyll and Bute Council a unique opportunity to capitalise on Oban's exceptional marine location in the heart of the West Coast with its longstanding maritime heritage.
Oban Bay
This is the same model as used by the very successful Tobermory
Harbour Association and is attractive to external funding bodies.
