A significant capital development plan for Cork Airport, currently under way, will support Cork’s international connectivity into the future. However, timelines and funding streams for the delivery of key projects like Luas Cork and the Northern Distributor Road remain uncertain. The cumulative impact of so many important projects for Cork will be transformative for the city and wider southern region. The end goal of this ambition, investment and development is a more competitive Cork region, a vision shared by businesses and the wider community. The future of our city region will be shaped by the challenges we face and our response to them.
