The €18.1 million announced for Kilkenny today will be used to achieve key ambitions such as a Greensbridge boardwalk, refurbishment of squash courts as a cultural hub, and public realm upgrades, Fine Gael Deputy John Paul Phelan has said.
The second round of the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) will see €11.46 million for phase two of the Abbey Quarter Plan and over €6.64 million for the Kilkenny City Enhanced Liveability Project.
Deputy Phelan says it will fund transformation projects that will benefit the community. It will deliver phase two of the Abbey Quarter Plan including a Greensbridge boardwalk to the Abbey Quarter and the refurbishment of the squash courts to serve as a cultural home, among other improvements.
