LEA opens up to other sectors of the economy

Friday, April 25, 2014

Under its new three-year strategy, Local Enterprise Authority (LEA) will service all sectors of the economy. The decision comes at the end of the Authority’s previous strategy that was specifically addressing growth of the agriculture sub-sectors of leather, horticulture, dairy and piggery.
