PR0JECT FUNDING

Whilst the Health Check and Town Team consultations

were ongoing Kilkenny County Council has been suc-

cessful in the ongoing delivery of a number of Town

& Village renewal projects for Thomastown. Kilkenny

County Council has also been successful in securing sig-
nificant funding for Thomastown under the Rural Regen-

eration and Development Fund.

This funding stream is committed by Government to be

invested in rural Ireland over the period 2019 to 2027.

The purpose of the fund is to support job creation in

rural areas, address de-population of rural communities
and support improvements in our towns and villages.

The Fund is part of the Rural Development Investment

programme which will assist and support economic re-

covery in rural areas. It includes a number of integrated

funding interventions.

Examples include;

• Rural Regeneration and Development Fund.

• Town and Village Renewal Scheme.

• Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme.
• Local Improvement Scheme.

• LEADER.
