Laois County Council are inviting applications from established Community Groups under Measure 3 – Targeted Community Infrastructure Needs.

evidence that all necessary permissions are in place, where appropriate
evidence, where applicable, that ownership/lease is in place
full estimated costings
evidence that match funding is in place
clear evidence of need and benefit to the community, and
