Expression of Interest sought for Project Development Measure
Monaghan County Council now seeks Expressions of Interest from Community & Voluntary Groups, Business Representative Groups for funding under the Project Development Measure.
The Project Development Measure (PDM) aims to assist local authorities to contribute to a pipeline of significant, well-developed town regeneration projects which might subsequently progress to construction stage, subject to the availability of funding.
Funding of €50,000 per application at a grant rate of 95% will be provided for up to three proposals that will bring the projects up to shovel ready stage.
Funding may be awarded for costs such as detailed design, planning, procurement, professional fees, assessments/surveys and other development costs.
The development of these proposals must be undertaken in consultation with the appointed TRO and the local town/village community and business interests. Full involvement by community interests and/or business interests will be an essential feature of successful projects. Ideally, projects will have been identified as part of a town plan, health check or similar study, produced for the town or village. Projects that cannot demonstrate that a consultative process has been undertaken to ascertain the views of local community and businesses will not be permitted.
Only proposals that are capable of being delivered within a 12–18 month timeframe should be submitted.
As in previous years, applications will be assessed on a competitive basis.
