Greencore plans welcomed by Town Chamber

THE proposed €500 million Greencore development at the site of the former Mallow Sugar Factory, which is expected to deliver up to 2,000 jobs, will be a major economic boost to the region, it was predicted yesterday.

Mallow Chamber said an advanced enterprise space of 800,000 sq feet, a four-star conference hotel, a golf course and many recreational amenities are all facilities that it had actively sought over many years and are especially welcomed.

“Given that the proposals do not include any significant shopping facilities, Mallow West will not in any way impact on the town as a retail centre.
