Water Activity Centre Stakeholder Consultation

Following an application by Carlow County Council under Ireland 2040 – Urban Regeneration & Development Fund, funding of €580,000 was secured to develop a Masterplan for Carlow Town and to advance several strategic projects through a detailed design process to planning stage.  One of these projects is a Water/River Activity Hub in Carlow Town. The River Barrow has been historically identified as a critical asset for Carlow Town and this project provides the opportunity to enhance the user experience in the area which complementing the existing developments in Carlow Town Park.

Kenneth Hennessy Architects have been appointed to bring forward a design for a sustainable Water/River Activity Hub, appropriate to the Town Park location and in consultation with all the relevant stakeholders.  Kenneth Hennessy Architects have significant experience in the development of projects of this scale and nature. It is envisaged that the project will be a mixed-use development, combining economic activity and recreational uses, and in turn creating a major Tourism Asset for Carlow Town. An information and consultation session will be hosted on 10^th March 2020 @ 7.00pm in the Seven Oaks Hotel , Athy Road , Carlow for interested parties in the project. In the session you will hear about the concept behind the project and take part in a consultative session facilitated by the team at Kenneth Hennessy Architects.
