The high-level goals of the new Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) 2023-2029 are informed by the Clare Draft Socio-Economic Statement, which is the subject of a series of public information sessions carried out throughout the county.
This plan will consider the future development of Clare from both a community perspective and an economic perspective. In terms of local community development, the LECP aims to meet the needs of individuals, groups and organisations by developing community infrastructure, programmes and services. From an economic perspective the LECP will provide a framework to guide local economic growth and stability in specific geographical areas through retaining and attracting new business, creating employment and supporting people to start their own businesses and social enterprises.
The LECP aims to encourage the people of Clare to start the conversation on topics that affect everyone who lives and works in Clare and also those who visit the county. Furthermore, and most importantly future funding streams will be aligned to the high-level goals and outputs of the plan.
