Carlow County Council is seeking expressions of interest from landowners for the purchase of land or turnkey developments for social housing purposes.
According to the Carlow County Council Community Information Facebook page, the council is interested in brownfield and greenfield sites around the Borris and Carlow Town urban area with residential zoning.
Developers, contractors and property owners of turnkey developments in areas across the county including Tullow and Carlow Town are also invited to submit their interest.
House type requirements include one, two and three bedroom homes.
A development size of not greater than 30 units would be preferred in Tullow.
Brownfield developments that would remove dereliction or tackle vacancy in existing buildings would be welcomed, and will be considered as Buy & Renew Turnkey proposals where the developer renovates the property to a like-new condition and sells to Carlow County Council.
