In collaboration with the local community, we are shaping a strategic vision for the future of Donegal Town and its surrounding areas. The group will focus on projects which can be delivered in the medium (1-5 Years) to long term (10+ Years). The projects will benefit from the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund (RRDF) and the Towns & Village Renewal Schemes, which are designed to foster sustainable growth and revitalisation in rural areas.
