The town of Tipperary is seeking a Regeneration Strategic Plan to help the community find a new path forward. The area had vast manufacturing resources and wealth, it now needs a new approach that capitalizes on the existing knowledge and resources while building a new direction for the town. For example, it has one of top equine communities in the world, it just needs a strategic view that further aligns the existing resources and figures out what needs to be added for the community to have even greater impact.
