Government chiefs have given the green light for a major multi million euro regeneration of Longford town.
More than €10m in State aid has been set aside under the Urban Regeneration Development Fund (URDF) for a county town’s Camlin Quarter Regeneration project.
The funding forms part of a wider €25.8m stimulus package for four projects across the midlands under a second round of funding announcements linked to the programme.
The €10.4m in funding earmarked for Longford represents the single biggest capital led investment to ever come to the midlands town and brings the county’s overall allocation to almost €13.5m following a €2.9m contribution in 2018.
