It provides a user-friendly interface that allows stakeholders, residents, and interested individuals to stay informed about the ongoing developments in their area.
Users can explore specific projects, track their progress, and access relevant details such as funding allocation, project timelines, and key objectives, making it easier for both professionals and the general public to stay up-to-date and make informed decisions on the progress of Louth’s URDF initiatives

Nationally, URDF funding is being targeted to support innovative projects that enable new housing, commercial, community and other development to be delivered within the existing built-up footprints of our cities and towns and to create attractive and vibrant places for people to live and work, as well as to invest in and to visit.
The URDF is the flagship €2 billion investment programme of Project Ireland 2040, established to support National Planning Framework objectives through the sustainable regeneration and rejuvenation of Ireland’s five cities and large towns. URDF supported projects are now active in every local authority area across every local authority.
