A fourth round of Government funding to support urban regeneration will be launched this summer.
Mayor of Galway Clodagh Higgins says the fund is ideal for places like Salthill, which would benefit from new investment.
“The URDF presents a huge opportunity to places like Salthill as this funding stream is intended to transform key areas of our cities and towns. Salthill is an amazing place to live, work, and visit, but it could be much better with further investment."
Mayor Higgins has spoken with the council's chief executive to ensure an application is put forward, as a priority, which will be "focused on the betterment of Salthill".
"However, in advance of this, it is important Galway City Council works collaboratively with partner organisations to develop projects and that the people of Salthill have a say."
Mayor Higgins plans to meet residents and businesses in Salthill through a public forum to hear their ideas.
