A study on extending the Waterford Greenway has been announced, marking a step towards the creation of a "Munster Vales Greenway" that would connect multiple greenways across the counties of Cork, Limerick, Tipperary, and Waterford.
The proposed extension would build on the success of the Waterford Greenway, which has been a significant tourism driver for Kilmacthomas and other communities along its route. Local businesses in Kilmacthomas have reported substantial benefits from the existing greenway, with the village becoming a popular stopping point for cyclists and walkers.
Community representatives have expressed strong support for the extension plans, noting that they would further enhance tourism opportunities and economic development in the region.
