Launching the Strategy at the event Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Councillor Laura Devlin stated: "The strategy charts an ambitious and confident way forward which will fulfil and advance the objectives of the Council's Corporate Plan, as well as lay a pathway to economic prosperity and growth.
"It will also help us to make the most of our geography by helping us exploit our strategic location on the Eastern Economic Corridor, equidistant between Belfast and Dublin.
"To help us reach our ambitions, we recognise the importance of support from all key stakeholders from across the public, private and education sectors. We believe that by working together, we will overcome our challenges and succeed in making Newry, Mourne and Down an even better district in which to live, work and invest."
