€30,000 for Dunleer to revitalise town centre
Funding to develop Town Centre First Plans
€30,000 in Government funding has been announced today to develop Dunleer Town Centre. The investment under the Town Centre First (TCF) Plans was announced as part of a €4.5 million package to support rural towns and villages by Minister Heather Humphreys.
The new measures follow on from the launch of the Government’s first ever Town Centre First Policy in 2022. This has seen the development of specific Town Centre First Plans in 2,026 towns nationwide. These have helped empower those specific communities to develop their own vision for the future of their towns.
The funding announcement was welcomed by Louth based Senator Erin McGreehan, who said, “I’m pleased to see Dunleer town centre being allocated up to €30,000 in funding to develop its own Town Centre First Plan. It will be crucial to the revitalisation of Tullow and will help the community generate investment and tackle issues such as vacancy and dereliction.
She added: “This investment is about giving local people the tools they need to improve their town and make it a more attractive place in which to live, work, visit and invest.”
