Revitalising two vacant sites in this prime town centre location, Elm Park, Cavan Town comprises 12 two-bed semi-detached bungalows and one two-bed detached bungalow. These energy efficient modern homes have breathed new life into this quiet corner of Cavan Town, located to the rear of Church Street, adjacent to an existing Older Persons’ Development. This infill site is on a gentle slope, as is the access into Cavan Town, making it very accessible. The scheme is specifically catered towards older people, but these Age Friendly homes are also easy adapted for persons with disabilities.
Cavan County Council, working with local contractor, Sandar Construction, has optimised the site area in creating 13 new homes while aesthetically rejuvenating the area with an investment of over €7 million. The development has boosted local pride and strengthened community bonds while reducing emigration, increasing commercial activity in the area, and boosting the local economy.
