The regional focus on the county in the WMB Women Mean Business February/ March issue promotes the slogan "Live in Leitrim, Invest in Leitrim, Experience Leitrim."
Interviews with Jackie Maguire, County Manager, Geraldine Reynolds, assistant CEO o
f the Leitrim County Enterprise Board and Jane Gilheaney of Jane Gilheaney Public Relations are included in the three page spread which targets businesswomen in Ireland.
The piece focuses on the Rural Renewal Tax Incentive which was introduced by the Government to attract investors and businesses to Leitrim. The scheme, explained by Jackie Maguire which can provide a 50% tax relief saving businesses up to €80,000 in the first year was hailed as "heartening news in these recessionary times," by the journalist Liz Morgan.
The article says the only small print in the scheme is that the business needs to stay in the county for 13 years. Liz Morgan talks with Geraldine Reynolds from the Leitrim Enterprise Board who promoted Leitrim not only as a tourist destination but as a business destination.
Local Businesswoman Jane Gilheaney emphasised the benefits of living and working in Leitrim saying "Rural it is but I have never found this to be disadvantage, quite the opposite in fact...You get all the advantages of city living with none of the disadvantages."
