Fund-Raising Campaign Launched For Feasibility Study Into Tipperary Greenway

547

A fund raising campaign has been launched to pay for a feasibility study into a Tipperary Greenway.

The Tipperary Greenway Project was established in 2018, to organize the raising of funds for a feasibility study that will examine the potential of creating a Greenway between Clonmel and Thurles via Fethard. The feasibility study is the first step on the ladder that will provide a cost-benefit analysis and further tangible data, on the potential a Greenway will have for the region.

The feasibility study will examine the prospect of using the former rail line that linked Clonmel and Thurles, and also all other possible options. The project promoters say that a greenway linking these two towns could have huge benefits to South County Tipperary and the Thurles region, economically, socially and with additional health benefits.

The group have now launched a go fund me campaign to seek online donations towards a target of €25000 – an application may also be submitted to LEADER for financial support.
