THE Creeslough Community Regeneration Project has been allocated €12.1 million under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund.
The allocation is part of a €164 million funding package that has been announced for 30 landmark regeneration projects across the country by the Minister for Rural and Community Development, Heather Humphreys.
Welcoming the allocation for Creeslough, Donegal minister Charlie McConalogue said, “A lot of work has gone into this application, and I commend all those involved.”
The minister points out that a regeneration plan for the village of Creeslough was unveiled in March, with Donegal County Council, Creeslough Community Association and the Creeslough Working Group all making a contribution.
“The centre piece of the Creeslough plan is a new community centre which will include extensive sporting facilities. This allocation is aimed at stimulating rural economies and responding to community needs,” said Minister McConalogue.
“It’s a positive development for Creeslough and the surrounding towns and villages, and I wish those tasked with bringing the project to fruition well. This project will make a real and lasting difference to Creeslough,” he added.
