The developers of the planned Center Parcs holiday village in Co Longford have announced the awarding of €1 million in supplier contracts to several Irish firms. Construction work at Centre Parcs Longford Forest in Ballymahon, which is expected to cost €233 million, is already well advanced with the resort expected to open next year. UK-based Center Parcs, which is owned by Canadian investment company Brookfield Asset Management, is expecting about 2,500 guests a year when the site is fully operational. “We are thrilled to announce additional suppliers from across Ireland to Center Parcs Longford Forest ahead of our opening in summer 2019,” Martin Dalby, chief executive of Center Parcs, said. “We look forward to working with each supplier to ensure we deliver the ultimate Center Parcs experience to our 2,500 guests.”
