Longford awarded €199,020 funding under Town Centre First Heritage Revival Scheme
THRIVE aims to allow Local Authorities and citizens to reimagine and revitalise town centres
Longford is one of 26 towns to benefit from funding of €199,020 under the Town Centre First Heritage Revival Scheme – THRIVE.
THRIVE was developed by the Southern Regional Assembly and the Northern & Western Regional Assembly, working in close partnership with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
It aims to allow Local Authorities and citizens to reimagine and revitalise town centres though the renovation and reuse of publicly owned vacant or derelict heritage buildings.
Minister of State Malcolm Noonan said: “THRIVE will support local authorities, not only in protecting and preserving underused heritage buildings, but also ensuring their long term sustainability through their renovation and adaptive reuse. This funding will also promote increased public awareness of town centres.”
