Three community spaces across Donegal are set for a revamp this year with funding allocations of €250,000 each under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme.
The funding, announced today, aims to support the revitalisation of rural towns and villages.
The three successful projects in Donegal are in Laghey, Tory Island and Rossnakill.
The funding will provide for the development of the Laghey Community Park to develop a dedicated outdoor recreational amenity and play space.
An Club/Club Soísialta, the heart of the island’s social scene, is getting an upgrade with improvements in thermal performance and accessibility.
The Rossnakill Tourism & Activity Centre is also getting a boost with repurposed attic space and a suite of additional multipurpose rooms including meeting rooms, education & training rooms, with associated ancillary services.
Since the Town and Village Renewal Scheme was introduced in 2016, over €177 million has been approved for almost 1,800 projects across the country.
The Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys TD, said “These projects are all about making our rural towns and villages great places to live, work and raise a family. I want to thank the local communities who brought forward these proposals and I look forward to seeing work commence on many of these exciting projects in the near future.”
