Mallow Development Partnership works with business, community and statutory bodies and the Kanturk/Mallow Municipal Committee of Cork County Council to develop, communicate opportunities and implement plans for the economic, social and environmental development of Mallow town.
MDP daily activities include strategic business planning, pro-active sectoral development, feasibility assessment and management of projects, area branding, promotion, marketing and networking, communications and monitoring/evaluation of projects and activities.
MDP is a voluntary organisation, consisting of representatives from Mallow town and its hinterlands,
from both community and business, Mallow Chamber of Commerce, Cork County Council, Avondhu Blackwater Partnership, Nimbus @ CIT, and many more.
A number of management and administrative committees exist to oversee the running of projects led by MDP, with meetings held on a regular basis. Seven Pillars, comprising a chairperson and committee members, meet monthly to further progress projects specifically related to the Pillar committee. Pillar Chairs provide a progress report monthly to management.
