Public to name €280m city quarter

A PUBLIC competition will decide the name of a €280 million development that aims to be the jewel in Waterford city centre’s crown.

Waterford City Council has confirmed that it intends to grant planning permission for the project to KRM Construction Partnership in the next few weeks.

A total of 600 jobs will be created during the building phase, which is expected to begin in September, with 1,300 jobs to be created in the medium to long-term.
