PLANNING permission has been granted for the €20m advanced manufacturing facility at Kerry Technology Park, Dromtacker.

The planned facility was announced in February last year by the IDA as part of a €200m programme for rural towns around the country.

The planning application was lodged with Kerry County Council on December 23 sat year for a purpose-designed 25,000 square foot facility with the aim of giving Tralee a state-of-the-art, turnkey property solution that will greatly assist with IDA’s efforts to attract Foreign Direct Investment here.

It will be a 2,543 square metre building including office facilities, carparking, signage and all associated site works including two vehicular entrances to serve entire facility.

There is now a four week period for appeals to be lodged.
