LIMERICK properties will be featured on an RTÉ Nationwide programme
about dereliction and vacancies this Monday.
Limerick City and County Council will make an appearance in the
programme as they are in support of property owners bringing new life
to vacant and derelict properties, in a bid to help renew local
communities.
The programme will feature a number of properties in Limerick that have
been returned to use, this Monday, March 20, at 7pm on RTÉ One.
Limerick City and Council are encouraging owners and potential
purchasers of vacant or derelict sites to engage with them.
Director or Services, Community, Tourism and Culture, Gordon Daly,
commented: “Making better use of our vacant and derelict building stock
helps with the physical regeneration of our city, towns and villages
but equally important, it breathes new life into our communities
including sustaining schools, shops and community and sporting
organisations all of which contributes to enhancing the quality of life
for existing and new residents.”
Limerick City and County Council are encouraging owners and potential
purchasers of vacant derelict sites to engage with them, as there are a
number of schemes available to help owners reactivate vacant or
derelict properties.
For example, with the vacant property refurbishment grant, homeowners
will receive support with up to €50,000 grant to help them make a
vacant or derelict property their principal private residence. And,
even a property that had prior commercial use can be supported to
become residential.
