Carlow County Council is seeking expressions of interest on potential projects which may be considered for funding under this scheme which is administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development.
The 2023 TVRS is designed to support the revitalisation of rural Ireland through a renewed focus on town centre economic and social recovery and regeneration. This will be achieved through projects focusing on town centre regeneration, enhancing our Streetscapes and bringing vacant and derelict buildings back into use as community multi-purpose spaces through refurbishment and renovation.
This year the scheme will also include a focus on Town or Village Centre Markets (e.g. Farmers Markets, Open-Air Markets, Local Trader Markets, Artisan Markets or similar) in alignment with the Programme for Government. This will be achieved through the provision of infrastructure to support the facilitation of these outdoor markets (e.g. public realm works, service provisions, canopies etc.).
The 2023 Scheme will place particular emphasis on the following:
– Investment in infrastructure to support town and village centre markets;
– Bringing vacant and derelict buildings back into use a multi-purpose community spaces, or to address remote working needs.
– Investing in the development of parks, green spaces and recreational amenities in town centres;
– A new option to allow local authorities to acquire plots of land to enable development of town regeneration, such as town parks, plazas etc;
– Refurbishment of existing community centres.
For the 2023 Scheme, the minimum grant which is available is €20,000. The maximum level of grant funding available is €500,000 in respect of one application from each Local Authority.
A maximum of €250,000 will apply in respect of 4 applications.
