Likewise, he added that With these aids “it will be possible to offer a better quality of life and not only to live, they will also increase the possibilities of work in the towns.”
The aid will be aimed at supporting entrepreneurship, investing in the creation, expansion and modernization of companies, supporting hiring by others, or for infrastructure, basic services and renovation of Leader towns.
The geographical scope of application is the Basque municipalities selected for the LEADER zone (a total of 122, in which more than 93,000 people live and which includes the most rural areas of Euskadi).
