€320k Streetscape Funding Pledged To Support Limerick Towns

Construction News Image
Six towns across County Limerick have been awarded government funding to improve building facades.

Funding of €320,000 has been allocated to Limerick City and County Council under the Streetscape Enhancement Initiative for Abbeyfeale, Askeaton, Bruff, Kilmallock, Newcastle West and Rathkeale. County Limerick is one of nine local authorities to receive this Band A funding.

Projects delivered through the scheme can include upgrades to building facades, artwork, murals, lighting, street furniture and canopies.

The initiative is a key part of Our Rural Future and will make rural towns and villages in County Limerick and across the country more vibrant and attractive places to live, work and visit.

Our Rural Future is the Government's five-year strategy to revitalise rural Ireland and includes a commitment to upgrade and enhance shopfronts and street facades in our rural towns and villages.

The focus of this latest measure is to support the upgrade and enhancement of shopfronts and street facades of defined areas within selected rural town/ village centres.

Welcoming the announcement, Mayor of the City and County of Limerick Cllr Daniel Butler said: "This funding from the government will help to make our county's towns more attractive places for people to live and work. It is all about improving our towns and will be led by businesses and property owners. The pandemic has taught us that there is an appetite for more services outside of the main urban areas and this initiative will support people as they reinvent their premises to cater for more people."

Applications are invited now for funding and are available on Limerick.ie.

The deadline for completed applications is Tuesday 07 September 2021.
