Monaghan County Council has submitted a three-year Capital Programme 2026 - 2028, which includes a total of 141 projects, and requires funding of some €469 million.
The programme was presented by the council's Chief Executive, Robert Burns at a monthly meeting of Monaghan County Council this morning.
Mr. Burns noted that consideration of the programme by the elected members does not confer council approval on any individual project.
Funding has been approved for projects across seven different areas, including housing, roads, fire and civil defence, capital projects, environment, recreation and amenities and miscellaneous.
The bulk of the projects will go into housing, with almost €249 million (€248,853,484) going towards developments across the county in the next three years.
This includes developments in Mullaghamatt, Ballinode, and 100 units on HSE Rooskey lands.
The plan also outlined projects in Castleblayney town centre, Rockcorry, Newbliss, and 24 units on the Roslea Road in Clones.
Meanwhile, there is a total of €60.9 million allocated to national and non-national roads up to 2028, as well as active travel schemes, such as Carrick R178/ Oriel Road Active Travel.
The programme indicates that funding will be provided to Ballybay Fire Station, Monaghan Resilience Centre, and also allows for an extension to Carrickmacross Fire Station.
Under capital project developments, €107.8 million has been outlined across the county up to 2028.
Projects include the Blackwater Valley Rural Enterprise and Digital Hub, the St. Tiarnach's Community Hub and Public Realm, and the Lough Egish Food Park.
In the environment category, €4 million has been outlined for historical landfill works across the county.
Finally, €30.4 million has been highlighted for recreation and community projects, including a basketball court in Lough Muckno Park, the Patrick Kavanagh Centre, and phase 2 of the Ulster Canal Greenway.
