The beginning of a new year is a good time to look ahead and gazing into the crystal ball we see plenty of positive developments ahead for Enniscorthy… A new Technology Park beside the St Senan’s Hospital site is expected to commence construction over the coming months and should result in the creation of hundreds of new jobs. A Centre of Excellence for Education in High Performance Buildings is expected to be open on the above park by end of 2018. The Enniscorthy By Pass is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Preliminary work on the Flood Defence Scheme is progressing with main construction work due to commence early 2019 and last for three years. The plans will go on public display again in Spring 2018. A €10m town-centre urban development project based around the Enniscorthy Castle/Athenaeum area is likely to commence construction in 2019/2020.
St Senan’s Hospital has
been purchased by a local consortium with a view to constructing luxury apartments there while maintaining the important features of the magnificent, original building. Major redevelopment of Templeshannon is planned for the period following the completion of the Flood Defence Scheme. Between existing planning applications and others in the pipeline, there could be up to 1,000 new houses constucted in the town over the next few years. Orchard Park – the new urban park currently being constructed between Irish Street and The Presentation Centre will be finished by this March. Vinegar Hill will be a top priority over the next few years following recent major achaeological research there. We expect to see significant investment there over the next few years. Plus there are lots of other smaller projects in the pipeline which we will highlight over the coming months. n
