Revitalization of historic buildings in the old city in Przemysl
About this good practice
All buildings were built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and have been individually registered in the monuments register. Natural persons were the owners of those buildings. Because of the systemic conditions and the resulting rents regulated over many years in Poland, the condition of those buildings were very bad.
The beneficiary of the project was the Association of Owners and Managers of Houses in Przemysl, while the final beneficiaries were natural persons, building owners, that were members of this association. All activities related to preparation of technical documentation, formal and legal documents, obtaining building permits, submitting a project application in the MA, settlement of the project was conducted on the basis of the proxies granted by the owners of the Association.
The project was implemented within the framework of measure 7.1 Revitalization of RPO cities in the Podkarpackie Voivodship 2007-2013. The total value of the project was 6,551,994.92 PLN. The co-financing of the RPO in podkarpackie voivodship was 75% and the rest of the funds were funded by buildings owners. The Association borrowed 1 000 000,00 PLN for 10 years for the project realization, because the amount of the funds collected by owners were too low. Nowadays the credit is paid with the money collected from buildings rentiers.
