Model of proposed city plan set for display

A MODEL of a 1,900 job development which will transform Waterford city, if given the green light by planning officials, is to go on display in the city on Friday.

KRM Construction Partnership last night announced that they intend lodging a planning application with Waterford City Council in October for a €280 million city centre development that will create 1,300 jobs on completion and over 600 jobs during the construction phase.

The development — earmarked for a 5.1-acre site bordering Michael Street, New Street, Stephen Street and Brown’s Lane — will feature 60 shops including three anchor units.
