Formulation of a Strategy for Sustainable Growth

Public Invitation for Written Submissions

 Drogheda has witnessed significant economic growth and development in the past five years and has a positive (yet challenging) economic future given its location in the heart of the Dublin-Belfast Economic Corridor, its extensive road and rail infrastructure and the skills and talents of its people.  Drogheda Borough Council and Louth County Council have appointed Indecon International Economic Consultants, the country’s leading and largest firm of professional economists, to formulate an Economic Development Strategy for Drogheda that will aim to ensure that Drogheda becomes a vibrant, sustainable and competitive urban centre in which to live, work and visit.

The purposes of this major study include:

v     Assessment of the economic strengths and weaknesses of Drogheda and its environs/hinterland

v     Identification of economic development opportunities that can be successfully developed during the period 2009-2014

v     Exploring ways of maximising the potential of Drogheda’s advantages, including its tourism potential, its heritage in terms of history, art and culture and ways in which it can attract high value inward investment and jobs.

As part of Indecon’s work, an Invitation is hereby issued to any individuals, businesses, representative organisations or other groups to make a written submission to the Indecon Consultancy Team on any of the issues above or any other issues relating to the economic development of the Drogheda area (all submissions received will be treated as strictly confidential). 

Written submissions should be made by email or in writing to the Consultancy Team by Friday 23rd May 2008, details as below.
