Cork County Council’s Local Community Development Committees (LCDC’s) for North, South and West Cork have last week announced their combined list of projects from across the county to be awarded funding from the Community Enhancement Programme 2020. The total county wide allocation available through this scheme, funded by the Department of Rural & Community Development, is €292,014.
Mayor of the County of Cork of Cork, Cllr. Mary Linehan Foley welcomed the announcement of the successful projects saying “The Community Enhancement Programme is an important annual scheme available to local communities. It aims to support communities to carry out minor improvements to buildings or renovate the community centres and in developing the local amenities. It can also help fund the purchase of equipment or improvements to town parks, common areas and often supports energy-saving projects, which are becoming more and more important.”
