Up to €180 million to be available for regional enterprise development projects across the country
Westmeath County Council has welcomed the launch of the Midlands Regional Enterprise Plan (REP), which was launched by Minister of State for Trade Promotion, Digital and Company Regulation, Robert Troy TD, at the Irish Manufacturing Research, (IMR) Mullingar.
The new Plan includes projects and initiatives across the four Midlands counties (Westmeath, Longford, Laois and Offaly). Stakeholder consultation sessions attracted attendees from across industry, public sector and higher education sectors from within the region. The sessions highlighted the high-level of collaboration and ambition that exists within the region, with a strong sense of optimism prevalent despite some regional challenges. Three key strategic objectives were agreed, with discrete actions developed for each.
