WDC

This is the long-term view to build on the success of our evergreen Investment Fund, valued at 72m, which is more than twice the original investment allocated to the WDC. Our goal in the next five years is to extend our investment and lending and to create a platform to develop a global competitive advantage for the region in key areas, but to do so in a way that protects the natural beauty and resources of our region and improves the quality of life for those who live here... We promote social and economic development in the Western Region, that is counties of Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Mayo, Roscommon, Galway and Clare... In the short term, our focus is to raise the profile of the region and tell our story to a wider audience, particularly those seeking to live or work here. The western region is an area of remarkable physical beauty, situated on Ireland's Atlantic coast, Europe's western edge and a natural entry point from the US, Canada and the Americas.
