The proposed project involves the freehold transfer and refurbishment of the grade 2 listed Ebbw Vale Institute, originally built in 1853. This grant will fully re-develop the facility to be 100% operational, with new new facilities including a dance studio, recording and rehearsal suite, video editing suite, workshop/learning space, business development space and a cafe. This project has been invited to develop a stage two application and a development grant of £14,788 has been awarded.
