€4m development project could create more than 120 jobs

WEST Clare could be in line for a significant jobs boost after a planning application to develop a €4 million supermarket and community development in Miltown Malbay was lodged yesterday.

Local businessman John Jones says the project will regenerate the area and create more than 50 full-time and part-time positions, as well as additional seasonal employment. A further 70 jobs will be generated during the 12-18 month construction phase.

The proposed development will consist of a 10,000sq ft supermarket, 150-space car park, relief road for the town, children’s playground, and an astro-turf facility with associated dressing rooms and lighting.
