The 2017 Town and Village Renewal Scheme was launched on 13th April last, with a focus on improving the economic development of our rural towns and villages.
The closing date for applications was 30 June 2017 and there was a high level of interest in the programme.
The assessment process in respect of the scheme is nearing completion and I hope to be in a position to announce the successful projects shortly. The scheme will support up to 300 towns and villages over the next 12 to 15 months.
