The government will announce a €1 million grant for the refurbishment of Wexford Quay today at Government Buildings in Dublin at 3 pm.
The Designated Urban Centre Grant is providing the funds, with Wexford County Council contributing a €1 million match.
Speaking to Wexford Hub, Councillor George Lawlor said the refurbishment will include the Crescent Quay area. He added that Labour TD Brendan Howlin and Wexford County Council Chief Executive Tom Enright had been working on the plan for the past several months.
“The plan is also to improve linkages between the quays and the Main Street through improvement works on the various laneways. This along with the purchase of the Trinity Wharf site and the private purchase by Pettits of the Stonebridge development will completely transform this area of Wexford into a hub for business, visitors and locals alike.”
Further details are expected shortly.
