Local Economic and Community Plan (LECP) 2023-2029
What is the Local Economic and Community Plan?
Cork County Council is in the process of preparing the new Local Economic and Community Plan, 2023-2029 (LECP). The LECP is a statutory plan which will set out the objectives and actions needed to promote and support both the economic and community development of the County for the next 6 years; this plan forms the local element of the national development framework among other national and regional policies.
The LECP is a two-phased bottom-up process, and we are currently in the first phase which involves the development of the Strategic Framework of the LECP. The second phase of the plan will be the preparation of an implementation plan and the actions arising from this will be undertaken both by Cork County Council directly and in partnership with economic and community stakeholders.
The new Local Economic and Community Plan 2023-2029 will build on and replace the Local Economic and Community Plan 2016-2021.
