The former O Dea Agri Seeds Limited site on Hale Street could be transformed in a proposal to the Draft Louth County Development Plan.
The former mill complex in the centre of Ardee, along with the nearby De La Salle Monastery building are part of the project.
The application states that the area has the potential of becoming a vibrant area, benefitting from town amenities and green open spaces linked to the Riparian / wildlife zone. A River Dee pathway link could be created through the sites to join up with the path on the other side of Moorehall Lodge nursing home and open up the opportunity of some additional assisted-living dwellings overlooking the public path, which would allow for community engagement.
It s time to invest in Ship Street and turn the ancient hamlet into a glorious example of the town s past.
The campaign is part of a submission to the Draft Louth County Development Plan 2021-2027 from a collective of interests that include, Ship Street Residents Association, Upstate Theatre Project, Conservation Architect Caroline Whately and builder John Cassidy who have been collaborating for the last number of years to revitalise Ship Street. This collective has convened around the understanding that Ship Street is a site that intersects many of the areas of concern covered in the draft plan including sustainable regeneration in compact urban area, the conservation and redevelopment of an area of special architectural, artistic, cultural and historical significance as well as a residential area, they state.
The former Boyne and Greenmount Mills site could be transformed from a wasteland into a mixed-use development that would deliver significant physical, economic, social and conservation gains both to Drogheda and its wider local and regional context.
