Minister Charlie McConalogue has welcomed confirmation that the tender for the Integrated Design Team for the Tús Nua Carndonagh Regeneration Project has now opened.
The closing date for the submission of tenders is early January 2023, with the tender assessment and appointment of consultant to be completed in Q1 2023.
A total of €9.5million has been allocated to the Carndonagh project under the RRDF.
It will deliver a new multi-use hub located in a regenerated heritage building (formerly McDonagh Stores) for a range of uses including: a co-working space and digital creative laboratory, office space, youth space, a community kitchen, and public amenities.
“This project will be a game-changer for the town of Carndonagh and I am glad to see this tender for the Design team getting launched. It’s really important that the work continues now in a prompt manner and that the various stages of the project progress to an efficient timeframe” Minister McConalogue said.
The project also includes a shared workspace and retail space for the designer maker industries together with enhanced public realm at the Diamond and improved pedestrian accessibility and linkages. It is hoped it will bring people of all generations back into the town centre for community services, education, recreation, housing, enterprise, and jobs.
Minister Charlie McConalogue recently met with Donegal County Council Head of Capital Projects, Brendan O’Donnell and Tús Nua Project Lead Ardal McDermott, together with Cllr. Martin McDermott and Helen Nolan of Spraoi agus Spórt.
The council confirmed that, along with the launch of the tender for the Architect Led Design Team, they will be publishing the full indicative timeline for the completion of the various planning, development and expected construction stages for the project.
