The launch of the Moville Regeneration Strategy and Action Plan took place last month at the Glencrow Hall, where those present heard how the blueprint is to “create a vibrant town centre for people to work in, live in and visit.”

Donegal County Council’s Town Regeneration Officer Patricia McIntyre welcomed members of the public, as well as the Cathaoirleach of the Inishowen Municipal District Cllr Martin McDermott and Cllr Martin Farren to the event.

Patricia said that it was “a pleasure to launch the Regeneration Strategy and Action Plan for Moville, which has been prepared by GM Design Associates following a detailed public consultation exercise earlier this year. This plan presents regeneration proposals for Moville that will create a vibrant town centre for people to work in, live in and visit.”

Inishowen Cathaoirleach Cllr McDermott welcomed the publication of the Regeneration Strategy and Action Plan, and thanked Cllr Farren for supporting and promoting the need for a regeneration strategy for Moville.

He acknowledged the work of GM Design in undertaking the public consultation and pulling together a plan that will direct applications for future funding of projects in the town.

Cllr Farren said that he’s “delighted” that there is now an action plan in place for Moville that will facilitate growth and attract inward investment to the town. He said the project will assist in securing funding for the key priority of creating a vibrant and dynamic town centre.

The project is funded by the Department of Community and Rural Development through the Town and Village Renewal Scheme. The Action Plan can be viewed on Donegal County Council’s website and via the following link:
