Ballyhogue Development Group Secretary, John V. Carr, announced earlier today via social media that positive developments have arrived ahead of Christmas in Ballyhogue.
“Wexford County Council in conjunction with Ballyhogue Development Group have received €300,000 under the Town and Village Renewal Scheme to transform the old shop/post office into a Community Hub!”, stated Mr. Carr.
The project was initially proposed in 2023, with a public consultation conducted at Ballyhogue National School last June.
The submission was for the delivery of a multi-purpose Community Hub with training facilities, social enterprises and community garden to address an urgent deficit in multi-use community/enterprise facilities in Ballyhogue through converting a vacant shop/post-office.
Wexford County Council acquired the former Ballyhogue Post Office and shop, and a grant application for ‘Ballyhogue Stores’ under the Town & Village Renewal Scheme 2025 was prepared and submitted.
The annual general meeting of Ballyhogue Development Group will be held in the coming weeks where today’s announcement will be welcomed and progressed.
“We are all looking forward to a new future for our little village of Ballyhogue,” concluded Mr Carr.
