Following the appointment of a Town Regeneration Officer in August 2023 and the award of funding from the Department of Rural & Community Development, Monaghan County Council has commissioned a Town Centre First Plan for Carrickmacross. The Town Centre First policy aims to create town centres that function as viable, vibrant and attractive locations for people to live, work and visit, while also functioning as the service, social, cultural and recreational hub for the local community.
Following the appointment of consultants, The Paul Hogarth Company, the Council formed a local Town Team to lead in the development of the plan. This team comprises representatives of groups across Carrickmacross, including the Chamber of Commerce and Tidy Towns.
The Carrickmacross Town Centre First plan maps out a series of transformative projects specifically tailored for Carrickmacross, encompassing a spectrum of scales and ambitions. The Plan will be a live document, remaining responsive to ongoing input and feedback, ensuring its adaptability to the evolving needs and aspirations of Carrickmacross.
