Rural Development

Laois Partnership Company has a long history in Rural Development and in delivering successful and diverse programmes and supports in the county. We have assisted many communities, individuals, families and enterprises with training and capacity building, with capital supports to develop infrastructure, and marketing supports to promote the county and all its assets.

All of this has enhanced and improved the quality of life for many communities across County Laois, as Rural Development is all about taking a bottom-up and community-led approach, and adhering to community development principles in our work.

Among the programmes under the remit of Rural Development are the LEADER programme, Rural Recreation, and the Rural Social Scheme.
