€2.6 million Contract Signed for Initial Phase of Cork to Kinsale Greenway
Cork County Council has announced a significant milestone in the development of the Cork to Kinsale Greenway with the appointment of consultant, Arup, as technical advisors to oversee the initial design phases of the project from Phase 1 Concept and Feasibility to Phase 4 Statutory Process.
