‘Hub town’ Mallow nets €2m funding

More than a decade after its designation as a “hub town”, Mallow is to get special funding to reflect the status.

The town is set to benefit from over €2m as a hub town under the designated urban centre grant scheme.

The Fianna Fáil-led government announced in 2002 that, under the terms of the national spatial strategy, it had identified hub towns and gateway cities which would receive funding to improve their infrastructure and aid growth.
