MEETING
A collaboration group was set up, almost two years ago, with five members from Lanesboro and Ballyleague and the support of both Longford and Roscommon County Councils under the chairmanship of Vincent Mc Gowan to identify as a joint group projects that would be beneficial in the constant development of our community. A few exciting project proposals are currently under consideration and hopefully they will prove to be viable.
The events within ESB and Bord na Mona has changed the focus of the group and they have to seriously look at life in our community without what has been the employment mainstay of our community for 60 years and more
The group has decided to become proactive and will hold a Think Tank/Brainstorming meeting in St. Mary’s Parish Hall on Saturday 21st September from 2 to 6pm. The group are asking everyone from our community and the outlying parishes that have what they feel are viable plans or even ideas for a deliverance of business and jobs to the area.
This is a meeting not just for just our parish but for all surrounding areas as companies coming to Lanesboro will lead to people coming to live in all parishes and also offering those coming back to work to live once again in the parish, they grew up in.
