Plan to transform Clara to be officially launched tonight

The Clara Town Centre First plan will be officially launched this evening.

The launch will take place along with a summer soirée at The Star, River Street, Clara, from 7-9pm.

The plan will include details of 15 regenerative projects for Clara town. There will be music and refreshments also on the night.

Clara was chosen as one of the first batch of 26 towns across the country to receive funding to develop a Town Centre First Plan. Urban Agency Architects were appointed by Offaly County Council to support the Town Team and the Council to prepare the Town Centre First Plan for Clara.

The plan presents a new vision for Clara, by providing an understanding of the place, defining the place and identifying means of enabling the place.

The plan has identified a number of potential projects and ideas that could transform Clara and help create a vibrant town centre.
