Galway Bay FM Newsroom - Over €400 thousand has been awarded to 3 Galway projects in the latest round of funding under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme.
The national scheme is targeted at towns and villages with a population of 10,000 or less.
The largest allocation in Galway under this round of funding is €250 thousand towards the development of a community park in Leenane.
The proposed park is on a 1.45 hectare site that overlooks Killary Harbour - planning permission for the development was secured in 2019.
A further €100 thousand has been allocation to Barnaderg near Tuam.
It'll support a number of enhancements to the village, which will improve access to community facilities.
Meanwhile, €58 thousand will allow a special multi-disciplinary consultancy team to carry out 'Village Health Checks' in five seperate areas across the county.
