Future West Cork is a local initiative, inviting communities, business leaders, key organisations and citizens to come together to align a broad shared vision and discuss how the region can take collective action towards reaching its shared goals.

People throughout West Cork have assisted in Future West Cork to date. Taking part in this initiative gives everyone the power to act with a greater understanding of where we are aiming to go as a region.

This site offers you several ways to get involved as well as lots of background information to help you catch-up or even to share with others who you think might like to participate too.

Future West Cork is currently in the engagement phase – so right now and over the next two months it is wide open for input from anyone in West Cork. We will be wrapping up this phase by the end of November 2011 and presenting the shared vision that has emerged in late January 2012. Don’t miss this opportunity to have your voice heard and included now.

If you have any queries or suggestions about the process, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us at info@futurewestcork.com
