The Town and Village Renewal Scheme forms an important part of the Action Plan for Rural Development and the Government's Project Ireland 2040 Programme for Rural Regeneration. It has the potential to stimulate economic recovery and job creation in towns and villages across rural Ireland.
The tables below detail the funding allocated to each Local Authority under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme in 2017 and 2018 and the amount paid to date to each Local Authority by my Department.
It should be noted that projects under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme can typically take 12 to 18 months to complete. The allocations under the 2018 scheme were announced on 5 October 2018 and are expected to drawn down funding up to March 2020. Payments are only made when Local Authorities meet a certain threshold of expenditure on projects. Final payments are made on full completion of the project.
