Waterford City & County Council has announced that a derelict site in Tallow has been chosen as a beneficiary of their allocation from this year’s Town and Village scheme.

€10 million has been provided by central government in 2016 to support the regeneration of rural towns and villages across the country.

The proposed project includes the development of a public amenity area adjacent to the R674 on the northern approach to Tallow village in the area known as Ramp Boreen. The land in question is in the ownership of Waterford City & County Council.
