The aim of Smart Villages is to enhance cooperation, new alliances, and funding for rural areas across the county with Galway Rural Development confirming Mountbellew as its pilot location in County Galway.

The national Smart Villages plan is a collaboration between three local development companies; Galway Rural Development, Kilkenny Leader Partnership, and IRD Duhallow, and will be rolled-out this winter across the country.
