Limerick Chamber welcomed the announcement that Limerick has been selected as one of two pilot locations as part of a national effort by Retail Excellence Ireland (REI) to revive Ireland’s towns and cities.
Retail Excellence Ireland and its national partners Chambers Ireland, Fáilte Ireland, NAMA, An Garda Siochana, the County & City Managers Association and the Dublin Business Improvement District (BID) awarded the honour to Limerick City out of 36 towns and cities across Ireland who applied for pilot status. The pilot programme will see national and local stakeholders come together to create a “town team” who will work together to develop and deliver a “town plan”.
Limerick City and County Council Manager Conn Murray said the overriding objective of the initiative is to apply shopping centre management principles to Limerick city which in turn will deliver a more vibrant and engaging civic space for citizens to enjoy.
Limerick Chamber CEO, Maria Kelly, said, “The designation as a ‘pilot city’ will give Limerick a real boost. It will give city centre stakeholders a stronger voice and ultimately provides us with a roadmap which is inclusive and aimed at the betterment of our city.”
