Galway City, Tuam and Ballinasloe are eligible for a new worth fund €120m to tackle derelict buildings owned by local authorities.
The THRIVE programme - co-funded by Government and the EU - has been launched by the Northern & Western Regional Assembly.
To qualify for a grant, local authorities must have engaged in public consultation, to better understand how people would like to see it used.
Each local authority - in this case Galway City Council and Galway County Council - could secure funding of up to €7m.
