Local timber, particularly from farmer owned plantations, is a growing resource in West Cork that has tremendous potential for creating jobs, renewable energy, exports and ultimately chains of valuable business activity. If you are looking to make an investment in this sector, whether in a new or an existing business, we would be interested in talking to you about potential support for your project. Possible investments could include:
– Timber processing equipment & yards (post-harvest)
– Manufacturing of wood products from local timber
– Biomass energy systems and supply chains
– Woodland amenity and biodiversity for recreation and education
The above list is not exhaustive and any application needs to be considered in light of other public supports and policies.
