DONEGAL County Council
invite expressions of interest from Inishowen for
project proposals through the Town and Village
Renewal Scheme 2020 and CLAR 2020. These funding
programmes support rural economies and communities
in their post-COVID recovery and help them adapt to
how they do business and how people come together
safely.
Cathaoirleach of Donegal County Council Cllr
Nicholas Crossan welcomes the funding announcement
saying: "Our towns and villages across Donegal are
at the heart of economic activity. Our communities
in Donegal are working harder than ever. These
funding programmes are timely and welcome and will
help community groups and business deal with the
challenges faced by COVID-19, supporting economic
and social recovery in the county."
Director of Community Development, Liam Ward,
acknowledged and thanked the community stating: "The
Town and Village Renewal Scheme and CLÁR Programme
have, over a number of years, helped rejuvenate
rural towns and villages across the county and in
addressing population decline. This year
particularly will provide much needed support which
will go some way to assist the economic and social
recovery of our towns and villages in addressing the
challenges posed by Covid-19. Working with our
communities we, as a local authority are better
placed to inform the regeneration of the places
where we live and work and the places we call home
and this funding will allow us to continue working
in this coordinated and collaborative way, working
with and supporting our communities.’

• Respond to the new challenges associated with
COVID-19
