Kiltegan Community Network Announce €2.5 Million Community Hub Development

The Kiltegan Community Network, with the support of the Malone Family Land Preservation Foundation, has announced plans for the development of a transformative community hub for the village of Kiltegan.

The €2.5m development will facilitate the return of the Hub Café, following its closure in 2020 during Covid-19 restrictions, on a new community-owned site and establish a purpose-built venue for a host of community amenities and events. 

The proposed development will be a bespoke design specific to the community’s needs, hosting the Hub Café which will cater for community groups and supporting activities such as local fundraising events, mother and baby coffee mornings, social events and lunches for older people, children’s activities, training events, and local business meetings and events.

The building will be a flexible and dynamic space aimed at supporting community needs into the future.

It will be designed to meet its mission as a community meeting space, as well as incorporating sustainable energy and green initiatives such as a community garden and biodiversity area, solar energy and storage, EV charging points and a living green roof.
