Roscommon County Council recognise that new technologies, high added value and knowledge based sectors such as Biotechnology, Medical Devices, Communication and Technology etc are the types of industry that offer long terms prospects for generating revenues. In order for Roscommon to achieve balanced and sustainable industrial development, a diversified base of employment opportunities will have to be provided for and developed within the County. The Council is committed to attracting industry to Roscommon and to the Elphin area. The Council recognizes the importance of industrial and commercial development in terms of employment creation and the economic and social development of Elphin. 5.5.1 Industrial Development Strategy Whilst the LAP cannot directly influence future industrial and commercial development, it can adopt a plan led approach by: Ensuring that sufficient and appropriate land is zoned and available for industrial and commercial development; Providing or facilitating the provision of infrastructure such as roads, drainage, water etc; Promoting Elphin as a viable location to work and live. Adopt a Development Contribution Scheme which includes measures to encourage such development into these types of settlements. Policies in relation to Industrial Development Policy 62 Promote Elphin as a base for industrial development through the zoning of appropriate industrial lands.
