Special Funding for 2020
In 2020, the Rural Development Investment Programme, including the Town and Village Renewal Scheme, has been tailored to address the emerging challenges associated with COVID-19.
For the Town & Village Renewal Scheme this means:
- A focus under the standard Town and Village Renewal Scheme on interventions that can respond to the new challenges associated with COVID-19 and support the economic and social recovery of our rural towns and villages;
- The introduction of a new strand of the Town and Village Renewal Scheme for 2020 that focused on immediate interventions that will be delivered in the short-term to assist towns and villages to adapt to COVID-19.
- Inclusion of some larger towns in the Scheme
