Local Economic Community Plan (LECP) 2023-2029

Under the Local Government Act 2014, each Local Authority is obliged to develop a Local Economic & Community Plan (LECP).  It has integrated high level economic and community goals. The economic actions will periodically be monitored and reviewed by the Economic Development & Enterprise Support SPC.  The Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) will oversee the implementation and monitoring of the community actions.

The Louth Local Economic & Community Plan (LECP) was officially launched by members of the Louth Local Community Development Committee (LCDC) and members of the Louth Economic Development and Enterprise Support Strategic Policy Committee (SPC) on Monday 20th May 2024. 

The launch of the six-year plan follows a comprehensive public consultation process and subsequent consultation with economic and community development stakeholders.

The plan aims to guide economic and community development in the county. It will shape the development of County Louth over the next number of years with the aim of making Louth a vibrant, sustainable, progressive, and climate-resilient county underpinned by inclusive, healthy, empowered communities and a dynamic economy.

The Louth LECP sets out the objectives and actions needed to promote and support the economic development and the local and community development of Louth, both by Louth County Council directly and in partnership with other economic and community development stakeholders.

You can view a copy of the plan at all Louth County Council Customer Services Desks, copies are also available in all libraries, and you can view the plan on line here.
