Ballymena Chamber of Commerce is throwing its weight behind a plan to increase Rates Relief for small businesses.
It's one of 28 business groups, including other Chambers of Commerce, the independent retail and hospitality sectors,to back the initiative.
Stormont's new £22 million rates relief scheme is around two and a half times the previous fund's size.
But it will need cross-party backing after the election to be implemented.
