Horizon Europe Programme For Balla
We are thrilled to announce that Balla CRD, in collaboration with ACT Architects Ballina and Mayo County Council, has successfully secured EU Horizon funding for the BLUEPRINT project! This achievement underscores the strong foundation of work already established with the Balla Community and the County Council.
As one of only five projects selected across Europe and the sole Irish town to receive this funding, Balla is set to become a leading example of community-led revitalisation. The three-and-a-half-year, €5 million BLUEPRINT programme aims to foster sustainable and accessible urban spaces, ultimately improving living conditions for all.
