A New Shopping Complex has been granted planning permission in the region.
Former Mayor of Waterford John Cummins received confirmation of the retail development at Michael Street, Waterford.
The proposed development will generate up to 250 jobs during construction.
The complex is then expected to support up to 480 retail and support jobs when complete.
Regarding the prospect of an appeal to An Bord Pleanala Cllr. John Cummins said "I sincerely hope there will no third party appeal to An Bord Pleanala in the coming 4 weeks.
I don’t think history would look kind on anyone who would needlessly hold up this project.
This development is key to the future of our City Centre and a huge effort has been made by the applicants to address the concerns that may have been there when the previous version of this development was appealed to An Bord Pleanala nine years ago"
