Donegal County Council are looking for towns and villages from all across the county to by part of the recently launched Town and Village Renewal Scheme 2017.
The scheme aims to assist projects that will enhance and develop small towns and villages socially, economically and culturally with €20 million in funding to be allocated among areas.
Applications from towns can receive from €20,000 to €100,000 worth of funding. €200,000 will also be up for grabs for a selected number of projects which propose an especially strong economic benefit to an area.
The scheme targets rural areas with a population of less than 10,000 people and is funded by the Department of Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs.
The type of projects that could be considered include projects that support entrepreneurship, projects that demonstrate collaboration between town center businesses and surrounding areas, tourism initiatives, enhancement of heritage or other community assets, town safety and accessibility enhancements, enhancements of leisure facilities such as walking trails and the development of quality marks, such as Purple Flag and Heritage Town initiatives.
