Alan Dillon Proposes Retail Activation Program for Tullow Businesses
What happened
Alan Dillon proposed the 'Vacant to Vibrant Retail Activation Programme' as part of the 'Town Centre First' plans. This initiative aims to support businesses opening in town centres across the country. The program will offer tailored support to prospective business owners, including practical business advice, financial mentoring, and marketing assistance.
Why it matters
The proposal intends to boost main street footfall and create sustainable jobs in participating towns. It seeks to reduce the number of empty buildings and increase activity on local main streets. Local authorities, regeneration officers, and enterprise offices will collaborate to match community needs with vacant properties.
The Dillon Council recently prioritized business support and infrastructure upgrades.
