Town and Village Renewal Scheme

2025 Expression of Interest 

Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, Dara Calleary has announced the launch of the 2025 Town Village Renewal Scheme (TVRS).

This 2025 TVRS is designed to support the revitalisation of rural Ireland by focusing on stimulating town centre economic and social regeneration. 

This will be achieved through projects which support sustainable employment creation, town centre resilience and regeneration, enhancing our streetscapes, and bringing vacant and derelict buildings and lands back into use as community multi-purpose spaces through refurbishment and renovation. 

Longford County Council is seeking Expression of Interest from all community groups who may have a suitable project for consideration under the below headings; 

1. the Main Scheme where grant funding for projects will range from €50,000 to €500,000; 

2. applications made under the Project Development Measure with funding of up to €50,000 available per project; and 

3. applications under the Building or Land Acquisition Measure where funding of up to €500,000 per local authority will be made available. 

Details of the above measures may be found here 

The Town and Village Renewal Scheme (TVRS) 2025 will assist local authorities in establishing a pipeline of small to medium capital projects which may be progressed to the construction stage, subject to the availability of funding. 

Interested community groups can submit an Expression of Interest Form to regen@longfordcoco.ie by Friday, 18 April 2025
