City’s quays set to become civic urban space

A PRIME section of Waterford’s city centre quays is in line to become a civic urban space, following the purchase of the land by the city council.

The 1.35 acre site close to the historic clock tower and used as a car park is likely to be turned into part of a European-style linear park, featuring plazas, galleries, restaurants, and bars.

The council’s acquisition, from the Port of Waterford after a sealed tendering process, is part of the strategic process put forward in the recently-published Project 2014 plan.
