€10.1m for Co Tipperary rural development

The new LEADER programme will bring funding of €10.1m into Co Tipperary, up to 2020.

The Rural Development Programme, with national funding of €200m, will focus on funding enterprise and tourism, community and social inclusion, and environmental projects.

It will be rolled out in Co Tipperary by the Tipperary Local Community Development Committee (LCDC), a sub-committee of Tipperary County Council. The programme will be delivered at local level by South Tipperary Development Company (STDC) and North Tipperary LEADER Partnership (NTLP).
