As we reported on Friday’s Morning Focus, Clare County Council has been allocated over €4m towards the Ennis Town Centre Public Realm Regeneration Project – which will lead to a rejuvenation of key Town Centre streetscapes.
The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Darragh O’Brien TD announced last week that Ennis is among the successful applicants under the Government’s Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF), which is intended to drive regeneration and rejuvenation of strategic and underutilised areas within Ireland’s cities and large towns.
The successful project, O’Connell Square, High Street, Bank Place, Barrack Street and Old Barrack Square, has an overall cost of €5,390,391 with 75% of the cost being granted funded under the URDF, and the remaining 25 per cent being financed by the local authority.
