Wexford Blooms 2023 Economic Impact Report
Wexford Blooms 2023 Economic Impact Report

plazaPOPS is here to support the local economy! Our Wexford Blooms 2023 Economic Impact Report is an opportunity to share the catalyzing effects of investment in community economic development, from hiring 39 Building Up trainees (who went on to get long term jobs in the construction industry), local youth (for many, it was their first job), supporting local artists, and of course, eating all the delicious eats that Wexford restaurants are famous for!

A strategic plan is not merely a document: it’s the compass guiding us through the complexities of change, enabling us to navigate with purpose and clarity.
