Page 2 - Callan Regeneration IN FOCUS

Message from the

Cathaoirleach

Kilkenny County Council

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Executive of Kilkenny
County Council, the Callan Town Team and Local Community Groups

for their efforts in assisting in the regeneration of Callan over the

last five years.

Kilkenny County Council selected Callan to pilot the “Framework

for Town Centre Renewal” in 2016 and since then Kilkenny County

Council have been successful in securing significant funding and
implementing key projects that were identified in the Callan Town Improvement Plan.

These projects have made a very positive impact on the town in recent years.

Callan was the first town in Kilkenny where a Town Team was established and this pro-

cess in partnership with Kilkenny County Council is now being rolled out in a number

of our other towns and villages. Kilkenny County Council look forward to continuing

to work with our local communities to further develop projects in our rural towns and
villages.

Wishing the Callan Town Team and the new recently established Town Teams every

success for the future.

Yours sincerely

Fidelis Doherty
