Wexford Local Economic & Community Plan (LECP) 2023-2028
Wexford County Council is preparing a new Local Economic & Community Plan for the period 2023-2029. We are inviting you to have your say in shaping the future economic, social and community development of County Wexford.
The LECP consultation phase has now commenced and the public and stakeholders are invited to engage in the process to –
- identify the programs that will see our county develop and grow.
- the opportunities, and challenges you face, across the county that affect your lives.
The purpose of the LECP is to set out the objectives and actions needed to promote the economic development and community development of County Wexford, both by the local authority directly, and in partnership with other economic and community development stakeholders. This consultation will seek the views of people living in the five Municipal District (MD) areas of County Wexford, as well as representatives from the public, private and community sectors.
As part of the first step to inform our new plan Wexford County Council has prepared a Socio-Economic Statement.
