A LONG-AWAITED business and enterprise park is to be developed close to Kerry Airport in Farranfore.
Kerry County Council has granted planning permission for the €17 million facility, which will be located in the heart of the county halfway between the principal towns of Tralee and Killarney.
Killarney and Tralee have been given joint hub status under the National Spatial Strategy.
A new development plan for Tralee and Killarney projects the population to grow from 35,000 to 45,000 between now and 2020, leading to a demand for thousands of jobs and almost 5,000 new houses.
The first phase in the park is due to be completed in 18 months.
The 80,000 sq ft park will also be close to Farranfore railway station.
Many of the 22 units of the first phase have already been sold, according to the agents for Killarney-based developer Philip O’Connor.
