Wexford County Council has signed contracts with Mythen Construction Ltd for the delivery of the ambitious 20 Affordable Homes Scheme at Ramsfort Park, Gorey.
Ramsfort Park (Radharc na Beannóige), will be the first affordable housing scheme for Co. Wexford with funding secured to develop this pilot project via the Affordable Housing Fund under the Governments ‘Housing for All’ Programme and will make homes available at a reduced price for buyers who are seeking to purchase a newly built home but need to bridge the gap between their mortgage and deposit to cover the full price of the home.
The development will consist of a total of twenty homes, available for sale via Wexford County Council’s ‘Local Authority Affordable Purchase Scheme,’ providing A rated dwellings which are designed to meet the needs of eligible families and individuals in the Gorey area.
Chief Executive, Eddie Taaffe stated; “We look forward to working with the Mythen Construction team to deliver this project. Wexford County Council is dedicated to working with delivery partners to enhance housing availability through innovative projects. Ramsfort Park underscores our commitment to delivering affordable solutions that meet the needs of today’s families.”
Cathaoirleach of Wexford County Council, Cllr. Pip Breen welcomed the contract signing, saying “I am very pleased to see this project moving forward, this development will see 20 much-needed affordable homes provided in Gorey for first time buyers and fresh start applicants”.
Construction is set to commence in the coming weeks and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
