Development board sets out three-year strategy

LIMERICK County Development Board (CDB) yesterday launched a strategy which directs renewed focus on a variety of issues ranging from youth services to water quality.

The document setting out the strategy for economic, social and cultural development examines progress made by the board over the past three years and identifies priority areas for 2006-08.

Gerry Behan of the board said: “When the county and city development boards were first established in 2000 it was the first comprehensive attempt to bring together all the main organisations and agencies at a local level to develop an integrated strategic plan that would ultimately lead to better service delivery.”
