The Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) is a flagship element of Project Ireland 2040, which is currently awaiting a government decision on funding.
Under the stewardship of the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, the Fund was established to support more compact and sustainable development, through the regeneration and rejuvenation of Ireland’s large towns.
The key feature of this fund is continued collaboration, whether between Government Agencies, local authorities, communities and other stakeholders.
In May 2020 Longford County Council applied under the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund Second Call 2020. The Camlin Quarter Master Plan was prepared over the course of 2018/2019 with support from the URDF/DHPLG following a detailed public engagement process. The application submitted by Longford County Council is ambitious and exciting and this project looks to totally revitalise the long forgotten lower part of Longford Town and re-connect with the core of the town.
