The role of the Local Authority is to promote Cork County as an attractive location for business to locate, grow and expand, for people to invest, and for employers and employees to work and live.
Cork County Council works to support business and the creation of employment, in co-operation with enterprise support agencies, entrepreneurs, community groups, and other stakeholders. It does this with the following initiatives:
- Supporting the development of the industrial and commercial infrastructure of County Cork, including business parks, industrial sites, and incubator units
- Working with international, national, regional, and local partners to promote Cork, and facilitate exports, trade, and sharing of best practice
- Supporting our local ratepayers through a variety of capacity raising initiatives as available from the Local Enterprise Offices (LEOs), Macroom E, and retail and town centre initiatives.
- Provision of financial support through Grant aid from the LEOs and the Economic Development Fund (EDF).
