TWO working days was all it took for the business community in Tralee to achieve their target contribution figure within the overall one million euro fund to develop Austin Stack Park Tralee.
An attractive five year All-Ireland Final ticket-scheme was created to encourage businesses in Tralee and the north Kerry area to help bring Austin Stack Park into the 21st century.
The allocation of All-Ireland Final tickets from Kerry County Board for this particular scheme and the existing the allocation of match tickets to all clubs in Kerry have been filled.
So far, businesses in Tralee, including the Tralee Hotels Alliance, have committed to subscribe to the scheme to the tune of €250,000 over the next five years.
Kerry County Board has already invested €400,000 while the balance will be negotiated with the corporate sector in north Kerry and Kerry County Council.
The initiative supported by the clubs in Tralee, representatives of Kerry County Board, Kerry County Council and Tralee Chamber Alliance commenced last Thursday and by close of business on Monday the target had been achieved.
A spokesperson for the group thanked the business people of Tralee for their generosity and for recognising the important role they need to play in order to preserve and develop one of the town’s key assets.
