Development Plan
Monaghan County Development Plan - submission by Enterprising Monaghan
(Monaghan County Enterprise Fund CLG)
Enterprising Monaghan has over thirty years' experience in developing and managing affordable workspace within
County Monaghan. We work closely with key stakeholders including Monaghan County Council, LEO Monaghan,
Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland in developing and growing this provision. We currently own or manage 7 business
centres which are home to 51 tenants who between them employ over 400 people. This in turn helps generate valuable
economic activity within the county.
Under our remit to work with I<ey partners to assist with economic development we would like to see the following
incorporated into the plan:
• Build upon the move towards hybrid working by ensuring suitable facilities and infrastructure are available
within the county to host high income jobs and projects within our communities;
• Build upon the county's long successful history of developing high potential food and engineering companies by
making sure appropriate start-up spaces and step-up facilities are available within the county e.g. build upon
the success of the Ballybay Food Hub project by replicating this for the engineering sector. Then underpin this
with having larger suitable industrial units to keep those companies that outgrow their start up units within the
area;
• Ensure appropriate infrastructure (i.e. roads, housing, medical services, schools, IT, energy generation and/or
storage capacity etc) is in place to support new projects grown from within the county's existing company base
and/or new FDI projects.
Kind Regards
