Economic & Employment
Closed24 Feb, 2021, 9:00am - 7 Apr, 2021, 4:00pm
Economic development provides the backbone for progress and sustainability in any town and is best achieved through a collaborative approach between the business communities, educational institutes and national agencies, with Mayo County Council facilitating, enabling and promoting economic growth. Castlebar is the main administrative, public health, education and commercial centre in the county.
The town provides over 9000 jobs and hosts a range of industrial/enterprise businesses and has a strong focus on commerce and the manufacturing industry. A key focus of the new LAP will be to ensure that the conditions for the creation of enterprise and innovation are embraced and developed and to encourage and facilitate a diversity of employment opportunities, promote inward investment and commerce.
Questions to consider
Q. Is there sufficiently zoned industrial/economic/ business land in the current zoning plans and how can the Local Area Plan promote economic development within Castlebar?
Q. What, in your opinion, are the economic strengths and competitive advantages of Castlebar?
Q. How can the Local Area Plan support and facilitate new business and employment? e.g. identify opportunity sites and specific objectives for underutilised areas of the town.
