Co Kildare villages and towns set to benefit from renewal scheme says TD

€20m in funding for a new Town and Village Renewal Scheme is being welcomed by a Kildare South TD.

Deputy Martin Heydon said:“The €20m fund will allow towns and villages around Kildare to apply through Kildare County Council to fund projects that can support rural regeneration and help to boost economic activity in these areas."

 He said:“I have seen at first hand the benefits in the six Kildare towns that benefited from the €10m fund in 2016.  Projects such as the Tanyard in Ballitore, the upgrade of Emily Square Athy, and an investment for Kildare town centre as well as landscape developments in Timolin and

Ballymore Eustace are all valuable and worthwhile projects in these rural towns."
