As part of the process, a workshop is taking place to give local people opportunity to give their views on what project proposals are key to support the ongoing social and economic development of the area.
The forum invite all householders, businesses, clubs and organisations to be involved in the formulation of the Durrow Town Plan.
"The Community Plan is essential to support the coordination of projects and initiatives required for our local community and the completion of report will be a key resource to aid funding applications to local, regional and national development agencies," says the Forum.
The workshop takes place on Thursday, January 25 at 7pm in the Castle Arms, Durrow.
