The Town and Village Renewal Scheme (TVRS) was first introduced in 2016 and is one of a series of national and local support measures designed to rejuvenate small rural towns and villages throughout Ireland under my Departments’s rural development investment programme.

The Scheme provides supports for projects that revitalise Ireland's rural towns and villages. The projects supported range from public realm improvement, community parks, digital hubs, as well as the regeneration of derelict buildings, enhancement works at tourism attractions and other important local amenities.

Since the launch of the Town and Village Renewal Scheme, over €156 million of funding has been approved for more than 1,700 projects across Ireland, of which over €4 million has been allocated to Co Westmeath.

The following table outlines the status of each individual project approved under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme (TVRS) in County Westmeath in 2022:
