The Limerick Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) is a 6-year plan for local economic development and local community development across Limerick. It is about working together to achieve the sustainable development of communities in Limerick.
This means:
- People, across the city and county and from different backgrounds, can enjoy a good quality of life with access to services they need, spaces and places for recreation and have opportunities to participate in community and civic life;
- Limerick is a good place for business and employment, providing quality jobs for all;
- We have a vibrant living city and towns and villages that are built up from the core and are safe places to visit, to live in, to shop and to work in;
- We can live more sustainably protecting our environment, the natural landscapes and nature, and adapting to the big challenges we face with climate change;
- We are resilient to new and sometimes unexpected challenges. We can find new ways of doing things and adapt to change.
The primary aim of the LECP is to set out, for the six-year period, the objectives and actions needed to promote and support the economic development and the local and community development in Limerick, both by the Limerick City and County Council directly and in partnership with other economic and community development stakeholders.
The LECP is an important way to set out how Government and other stakeholders can work together to ensure that their initiatives, programmes and projects support an improved quality of life for people living and working in the county.
