Cork County Council Launches Plan for Economic and Community Development

The Cork County Local Economic and Community Plan 2024-2030 has been formally adopted by the Elected Members of Cork County Council. The plan provides a framework for how Cork County Council itself, and in partnership with stakeholders, will promote and support the economic and community development of the county over the next 6 years.

This Plan sets out a series of High-Level Goals representing the specific vision that Cork County Council wishes to achieve, these include sustainable, resilient and empowered communities and places; a socially inclusive county; a healthy and active county; a low carbon and climate resilient county that protects biodiversity and the environment; a county that supports enterprise and a smart and innovative county.

Mayor of the County of Cork Cllr Frank O’Flynn highlighted the collaborative effort between Cork County Council, its economic and community stakeholders and the citizens of Cork County in the development of the plan,

As we unveil this comprehensive roadmap which will guide us through the challenges and opportunities presented over the next six years, I am reminded of the strength that lies in the power of collaboration. The input and participation of Elected Members, economic and community stakeholders and the citizens of Cork County throughout this process demonstrates our shared vision and aspiration to promote the development of our county as an attractive, competitive and sustainable place to live, visit and do business.

Chief Executive of Cork County Council, Valerie O’Sullivan added,

The development of the Cork County Local Economic and Community Plan has been based on a wide-ranging database of quantifiable socio and economic data and extensive public and stakeholder engagement to ensure it is robust and effective. This will provide Cork County Council and our economic and community stakeholders with a framework to support the sustainable development of our county. From the outset, we have recognised that this is not just a plan for Cork County Council, but for us as a Local Authority working alongside our economic and community stakeholders. This is reflected in the key role that our Advisory Group, Local Community Development Committees and Strategic Policy Committee have played in guiding the plan throughout its development and all will play a key role in its implementation.
