Support Agencies
Waterford City Council works to support economic development through the provision of physical infrastructure such as roads, water and sewerage treatment. In addition, the Waterford City Development Plan 2007-2013 provides the policy framework that will guide development decisions in the City over the period of the plan.
One of the strategic aims is to promote balanced and sustainable economic development and employment by ensuring that a diverse range of economic sectors are developed. The Waterford City Development Plan contains details of key opportunity sites which have been identified for redevelopment in the City, provision of a strategic development site to attract foreign direct investment and plans for the future economic development of Waterford City .
Waterford City Council actively works with the other economic development agencies in the City to make Waterford City an attractive location to invest in or to set up a business in.
