Regenerating Letterkenny town
centre
03.03.20
DONEGAL County Council
will launch a project, this coming year, to explore
how Letterkenny town centre can be best regenerated
to become a vibrant, competitive and attractive
place in which to live, work and invest.
To this end, tenders are being sought for the
preparation of a regeneration strategy which is
called ‘Letterkenny 2040'. |

Letterkenny 2040: Tender documents
are available on
www.etenders.gov.ie . |
Cathaoirleach of
Letterkenny Municipal District, Cllr John O’Donnell
describes the role of the public in the project as
critical saying, "The community and the people of
Letterkenny and its wider area who use it every day
are central to this project because they have the
best understanding of the town centre and the best
ideas for what kind of place it will become. Donegal
County Council will be working creatively to try to
encourage participation from all sections of the
community and especially across all age groups and I
would encourage everyone to take part."
Speaking about Letterkenny 2040, Sinead McCauley,
Project Lead, said, "The Regeneration Strategy will
be visionary, innovative and creative in the design
of new propositions for the town centre. We are
looking for a multi-disciplinary team particularly
in relation to architecture and urban design
expertise to work with the local community and
co-design a clear roadmap for town centre
regeneration. This will include areas like Lower
Main Street, Market Square and the Cathedral
Quarter."
The project will launch around May 2020 when the
community in Letterkenny will be invited to take
part in events to gather ideas and think about
regeneration possibilities. More information will
follow in relation to the events on
www.donegalcoco.ie .
Tender documents are available on
www.etenders.gov.ie and the closing date for
receipt of tenders is 5pm on 20th March 2020. |
