About
Maybole Town Centre Regeneration
The Beginnings of Maybole Regeneration Project
Many local people have volunteered their time and worked tirelessly to make this project happen, some working over many years to bring investment to the town. A major catalyst was confirmation that the A77 Bypass would be delivered.
Aims
Working with the local community, the Maybole Regeneration Project seeks to create an even better town with restored historic buildings, a greater sense of place and civic pride, a strong local economy and a thriving town centre that will better serve the local community, businesses and, visitors.
