South Dublin County Development Board was established in 2000, as part of the Local Government Reform Process, to facilitate the development of a strategy for the social, economic and cultural development of South Dublin County.
The County Development Board brings together for the first time at County Level, Local Government, State Agencies, Local Development Agencies and the Social Partners to promote an integrated and co- ordinated approach to the development needs of South Dublin County. The Board meets five times a year and is administered by the Community and Enterprise Department of South Dublin County Council, County Hall, Tallaght, Dublin 24.
South Dublin County Development Board launches its Think Local Campaign
Think Local 2010 is an initiative of the South Dublin County Development Board which intends to create and develop community awareness of the advantages and benefits of supporting local business and community facilities.
THINK LOCAL aims to promote and sustain both economic and community vitality in South Dublin County. The County Development Board believe that if the Community who live, work, study and do business in the County rallies around our local businesses, services and community facilities in the County everyone can benefit. This initiative can help sustain existing jobs within the County and gives the general community the opportunity to be involved.
On Thursday at 1 p.m. the Mayor of South Dublin County Council will launch the campaign and the new Think Local Website.
