The Housing Minister is visiting Waterford's North Quays this afternoon.
Darragh O'Brien will also meet with the Chief Executive of Waterford City & County Council to discuss housing delivery and targets.
The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage announced €80.6 million in Urban Regeneration and Development Funding for Waterford’s North Quays project in November.
€30 million has already been committed by the Department of Transport which will bring the total funding to €110.6 million.
The North Quays project will see an eight hectare site regenerated.
It’s expected that 1,500 new full-time jobs directly related to the construction phase will be created, with private development delivering nearly 2,300 full-time jobs by 2026 and the creation of a further 4,500 indirect jobs in the wider community.
