IDA Ireland is committed to building a new Advanced Technology Building in Tralee. IDA is continuing to engage with stakeholders to seek a suitable site for this proposed building. Securing planning permission and the construction of the building will take time, but it is intended that the building facility will be delivered during the life of the current IDA Strategy to 2024. The advanced technology building may support either a new office or industrial investment given the flexible nature of IDA building solutions. The are no plans at this time for additional advance buildings in Kerry beyond what is outlined in the Strategy.
The strategy also says that IDA will continue to work closely with the private sector in the South-West to secure the provision of appropriate and cost-effective building and property solutions for client companies. It says that additional upgrade works, and investment are planned for IDA Parks in the region to ensure a robust value proposition for clients, and IDA plans to acquire additional strategic sites for future development.
