A new three-year €1.5 million fund that will directly impact communities in County Clare has been launched. The Clare Communities Fund is a collaboration between Rethink Ireland, the Michael Guinee Charitable Foundation and the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht (DRCDG) via the Dormant Accounts Fund. The fund is calling for applications from community projects and organisations whose work will make a direct impact in County Clare, addressing social inequalities and fostering accessibility and inclusion. Applications for the three-year fund are now open at rethinkireland.ie/open-funds/ and will close on 28 November at 1 pm. Rethink Ireland is the national funding body supporting the most innovative non-profit organisations and social enterprises working to create a more just, equal and sustainable Ireland. To date, Rethink Ireland has supported the funding of 16 projects directly working in County Clare, with a total investment of €1.47 million. To be eligible to apply for the Clare Communities Fund, projects must meet one or more of the following criteria: Promote social inclusion in County Clare through a strong sense of community and wellbeing. Use arts, music, or culture as a tool for engagement and empowerment. Increase participation in community and cultural activities for those with limited access. Develop or improve creative, cognitive, social and emotional skills. Address health and well-being disparities in line with Ireland's Well-being Framework. Demonstrate potential for long-term impact and sustainability. Commenting on the new fund, Deirdre Mortell, CEO, Rethink Ireland, said: "At Rethink Ireland, place-based giving is a hugely important strategy for us. We encourage donors, like Michael Guinee, who are passionate about where they come from, to invest back into the future of their own local communities. "Donors who give where they live are acutely aware of both the challenges and the potential within their communities. The goal for the Clare Communities Fund is to create more inclusive and resilient communities across the county." Also commenting on the new fund, Michael Guinee, said: "Our Foundation aims to deliver impactful and sustainable change, enhancing well-being, creating opportunities and ensuring that people, regardless of location or circumstance, have the resources and supports they need to thrive. "The Clare Communities Fund closely aligns with our foundation's values and goals. It was created to respond to the unique challenges faced by communities in County Clare. By backing community-led projects that promote innovation, inclusion, and wellbeing, the fund brings our mission to life. Our vision is for this fund to reduce social inequality and remove some of the barriers faced by groups, particularly people who are overlooked, underrepresented, or have additional needs."

Send us a textHere's a conversation with a lifelong civic servant whose roots run from Monterey Park to Pomona and the San Gabriel Valley. With decades in urban planning and community development, he brings a ground-level view of how cities actually work—housing, zoning, economic development, schools, and the partnerships that make neighborhoods thrive. He currently serves on the Pomona City Council and has spent years volunteering on youth, planning, and education boards that shape real outcomes for families.We trace his path from Cal Poly Pomona's urban and regional planning program to roles in Claremont and Montclair, including Director of Community Development. Along the way, he bridged policy and practice: general plans, code enforcement, downtown revitalization, and the day-to-day tradeoffs between growth, character, and affordability. His private-sector experience adds a practical lens on budgets, operations, and service that complements public service.Community impact sits at the heart of his story. From the Pomona Planning Commission and the Pomona Unified School District Board to Habitat for Humanity's design and construction work, he has focused on long-term value—safer streets, stronger schools, and projects that pencil out for residents and businesses. We talk about aligning city hall, neighborhoods, and nonprofits so progress sticks beyond any single term.If you care about how local government shapes quality of life—housing supply, small business corridors, parks, transportation, and civic engagement—this episode is a field guide.

The Western Development Commission's (WDC) Western Investment Fund (WIF) has reached a major milestone, having now invested €100 million across more than 350 SMEs, social enterprises, community projects and strategic regional initiatives throughout the Western Region. The WIF is unique in Ireland as an evergreen investment fund, where all returns are reinvested into new start-ups and scale-ups. Since its establishment, the fund has more than tripled in size, and this €100 million milestone represents the fourth full revolution of the original exchequer funding received. To date, WIF investment has leveraged over €1 billion in additional public and private capital, a tenfold multiplier effect that has significantly strengthened the enterprise landscape of the West. WIF portfolio companies and projects now employ more than 5,000 people directly and indirectly, have generated over €5 billion in revenues, half of which are exports. Supported companies have collectively invested €650 million in R&D, underscoring the growing innovation capacity of the region. The WIF is a multi-faceted fund, providing both venture capital to high-potential SMEs, and social finance to social enterprises and community-led development projects that support inclusive regional growth. Representative investments include: Innovative SMEs such as Aerogen, whose technology has treated 75 million patients worldwide and developed the world's first inhaled vaccine. Altocloud which was acquired by Genesys and now have their global headquarters for Generative AI Galway. Social enterprises, including Lough Ree Access for All, based in Roscommon, provide employment and recreational opportunities for people with disabilities. Community projects such as enterprise centres, creative hubs, and renewable energy co-operatives, which strengthen local economies and social infrastructure. Burrishole Community Centre in Mayo the first new community centre to be developed in the region in the past decade, community centres are key focal points for communities offering range of services. Minister for Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht Dara Calleary TD, welcomed the announcement, saying: "The WIF has been providing equity finance and loans to businesses, communities, social enterprises, strategic initiatives, and the creative industry to enable them to establish themselves and grow in the Western Region for over 25 years. It has become a vital engine for sustainable economic development in the West and is an example of what regionally focused investment can achieve. It has helped hundreds of businesses and community projects from Donegal to Clare, and this €100 million milestone demonstrates the real and lasting impact of the Fund". Gillian Buckley, Head of Investment at the WDC, added: "The Western Investment Fund has been a cornerstone investor for the West - providing long-term, patient capital for businesses and communities that drive regional growth. What makes the fund truly distinctive is its circular nature: every euro returned is reinvested into the next generation of entrepreneurs, innovators, and community leaders. The WIF has not only supported the creation of jobs and enterprises, but has also helped shape a vibrant and sustainable regional economy and enterprise ecosystem." The WIF continues to play a pivotal role in developing the enterprise and innovation ecosystem in the Western Region, working with state agencies, local authorities, and private investors to ensure the region remains a dynamic and competitive contributor to Ireland's national economy. Allan Mulrooney, CEO of Western Development Commission, said, "Our new strategy, Unlocking Potential, Driving Change, marks an ambitious next chapter for the Investment Fund. Over the next five years, we will invest an additional €35 million across 100 projects, driving innovation, sustainability, and competitiveness across the Western Region. Our focus is on building a stronger, more resilient r...

Summary:James Bell, President & CEO of the Broken Arrow Chamber & EDC, details the strategy behind Broken Arrow's rapid growth on the Brews & Business podcast with host Braedon Kruse.Bell, who joined in September 2024, discusses his unique career path from medical devices to startups and, finally, economic development, explaining why he sees Broken Arrow as a "Goldilocks City." He shares his vision for the community, which focuses on balancing the attraction of primary jobs (manufacturers and tech) with nurturing small businesses and local entrepreneurs. Bell emphasizes that community development is the foundation for economic development, highlighting the Chamber's work in advocacy and workforce development, including the successful push for Senate Bill 701 (SB 701). He concludes by offering advice for entrepreneurs and discussing the personal legacy he aims to build in Broken Arrow. Key Takeaways The Journey to BA was Personal and Providential: James Bell openly shares his non-linear career path, noting several instances where he resisted a push toward economic development and entrepreneurship before realizing his true calling and moving his family to Broken Arrow for its community, schools, and growth opportunities.Community Development is the Foundation: James stresses that economic success hinges on community development—ensuring the city is a high-quality place to live, which then attracts the businesses that create "primary jobs" that bring new money into the economy. Retail and small businesses, often overlooked in economic development discussions, are essential for this quality of life.The Chamber's True Value is Beyond Networking: While the Chamber hosts many networking events, its core value lies in advocacy (like fighting for SB 701), business retention and expansion (where most new jobs are created), and providing research and resources that help small businesses and entrepreneurs succeed.It's Never Too Late to Start or Pivot: Drawing from his own experience of returning to school in his late 30s for a two-year pre-med program and MBA, and jumping into a new career later in life, James encourages entrepreneurs to embrace change and new beginnings, reminding them that the average successful entrepreneur starts in their 40s.Advice for Entrepreneurs: Get Out of the Building: James advises that the answers to business problems are "not inside the building you're sitting in." Entrepreneurs must go out and talk to 60-100 people about the problem and their proposed solution to truly understand the market and adapt before investing heavily.Episode Chapters 00:00 – 03:00Intro: Welcome, Gregoron Coffee Roasters Sponsor & Promo Code 03:00 – 05:30What're We Drinking?

I used to have a Zen proverb a day calendar, the ones where each day you tear off a new sheet that has another saying that was meant to make you contemplate, get in touch, consider, explore, think. My years always started off well, but by about June I was just ripping pages off trying to catch up to the day I was supposed to be on. I honestly think I got more mileage out of my Dad Joke a Day calendar that ended up replacing the Zen one in an ensuing year. But then again maybe there is something Zen about Dad Jokes.One Zen proverb that stuck with me was, “Our eyes were originally right but went wrong because of teachers.” I have to admit that one stung a bit. Speaking on behalf of all educators, we all want to think that we are positively contributing to how our students see the world. But do we? There is the danger of formal education introducing “fixed thinking” or singular ways of conceptualizing the world around us. Students are taught what we been taught and know. Problem is, what we know might only be one dimension of how to view things.To bring in another saying, “If all you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail.” Thinking of “hammer” instructs how the object is to be used. But if you have no idea what a hammer was, then you could envision many different uses for it. Sometimes not knowing is the key to progress.Now it is true from a design perspective that the way a hammer is built can instruct on how it should be used. There is something that looks like a handle. The heavy end has a flat surface which can infer pounding. But creative and unconstrained thinking can see so many ways to use this object.To throw in another saying, Ignorance is bliss, and from that we might also say paradigms can obscure. Thomas Kuhn in his book “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” examines how established paradigms can stymie progress and advancing knowledge because they limit our ability to what is in front of us. Thus, part of the advancement of science and our understanding is shedding off what teachers have taught us to be true. Rather than just teaching paradigms and how things are, teachers need to do more teaching on how to retain a beginner's mind and connect that with envision what is possible, and not just what is believed to be known. Alan Gregerman is here on Experience by Design to talk about his new book coming out on October 14th “The Wisdom of Ignorance,” in which he examines what we can gain by letting go of what we think we know. Alan is trained as an Urban Geographer, as he was long interested in exploring cities of the world. While a student at Northwestern, he worked under the tutelage of John McKnight, one of the founders of the Assets-Based Community Development Institute, and I will add a person I also knew and took a workshop from on the ABCD approach. McKnight's work continues to influence Alan, as well as me. We talk about his work in helping companies be creative through exploring urban environments in undirected ways. He describes how new employees are a very valuable resource because of how they bring new eyes to organizations. He notes that half of all the companies on the Fortune 500 list 25 years ago don't exist today, and how that is in part linked to their belief in old paradigms. Alan emphasizes the importance of having teams of diverse perspectives and experiences in order to help see things differently. Also in keeping with assets-based community development, everyone has a gift that they can contribute.

What if the future of affordable housing doesn't come from prefab or 3D printing, but from building vertically integrated factories that travel to where homes are needed most?In this episode, I sit down with Aleksandr Gampel, co-founder and COO of Cuby Technologies, to talk about their radical approach: Mobile Micro-Factories. Instead of shipping oversized boxes across the country, they bring a full factory on-site – producing windows, panels, framing, and even helical piers locally, then assembling homes with unskilled labor.We get into why housing costs have exploded (up 40–50% since pre-COVID), how Cuby's system cuts hard costs by reducing skilled labor, and why most prefab and modular ventures have failed. Aleks explains how their vertically integrated model works, why they're targeting small-to-mid-sized builders instead of one-off homeowners, and what it will mean when dozens, or even hundreds, of mobile microfactories are running across the U.S.We also dive into design: steel tube framing, magnetic facades, and the surprisingly elegant logic behind Toyota's production system applied to housing. If you've ever wondered how we might actually build cost-effective, durable homes at scale – without sacrificing beauty or quality – this episode is worth your time.CHAPTERS:00:00 Introduction to Housing Challenges02:53 The Concept of Mobile Micro Factories05:35 Manufacturing Process and Product Offerings08:24 Building Systems and Structural Integrity11:17 Cost Management and Market Strategy14:05 Design Flexibility and Market Demand17:07 Community Development and Housing Affordability19:53 Operational Dynamics of Mobile Micro Factories24:43 Building Efficient Factories with Unskilled Labor27:30 The Role of Automation in Construction28:54 Phased Business Plan for Housing Production30:34 Funding and Capital Efficiency in Startups32:33 Design Versatility and Limitations in Home Building34:10 Long-Term Vision and Growth Strategy35:15 Innovative Problem Solving in Construction39:13 Challenges of Prefabrication in the Housing Market41:33 Material Science Innovations for Housing43:11 The Journey of Co-Founding a Startup44:33 Connecting with Cuby TechnologiesCONNECT WITH ALEKSANDR GAMPELLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamaleksandrgampel/ Twitter/X: https://x.com/agampel1 Cuby Technologies: https://www.cubytechnologies.com/ CONNECT WITH AUSTIN TUNNELLNewsletter: https://playbook.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/austintunnell/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/austin-tunnell-2a41894a/ https://twitter.com/AustinTunnellCONNECT WITH BUILDING CULTUREhttps://www.buildingculture.com/ https://www.instagram.com/buildingculture/ https://twitter.com/build_culture https://www.facebook.com/BuildCulture/ SPONSORSThank you so much to the sponsors of The Building Culture Podcast!Sierra Pacific Windows: https://www.sierrapacificwindows.com/ One Source Windows: https://onesourcewindows.com/

SIRO and Vodafone Ireland have been announced as the official connectivity partners for REACH, Roscrea's new Enterprise Hub. As part of the SIRO-Vodafone Gigabit Hub Initiative, REACH will enjoy seamless, high-speed fibre broadband. Located in the heart of Roscrea, REACH is the 25th hub to join the Gigabit Hub Initiative. The hub was officially opened this week with representatives from the REACH Board, elected representatives, Tipperary County Council officials and other key stakeholders all in attendance. The Gigabit Hub Initiative, delivered by SIRO and Vodafone, provides gigabit fibre connectivity to remote working and digital hubs across Ireland. REACH joins a network of successful hubs, including Dundalk's Creative Spark, Galway's PorterShed, and Skibbereen's Ludgate Hub, all of which have benefited from the initiative. With SIRO's full-fibre broadband offering speeds of up to 1 Gigabit per second, the hub provides fast and reliable connectivity to meet the business needs of all companies and individuals working with the REACH hub. REACH offers a supportive environment for businesses of all sizes, from start-ups and freelancers to growing SMEs. The hub features 11 private offices, 10 hot desks, and shared workspaces, catering to a variety of business needs. It is already home to key organisations driving regional growth, including Tipperary Education and Training Board, a leading education and training provider, and Herdwatch, a Roscrea-founded agri-tech company transforming livestock and pasture management across Ireland, the UK, and beyond. REACH is set to become a key driver of business growth in Roscrea, offering entrepreneurs, SMEs, and remote workers the space and connectivity they need to thrive. Its strategic location, combined with SIRO's full-fibre broadband, ensures that businesses can operate with the same level of digital infrastructure as those in any major urban centre. SIRO is a leading full-fibre broadband operator, rolling out a 100% fibre broadband network across Ireland. Its network is currently available in multiple locations across Tipperary, including Cashel, Nenagh, Thurles, Clonmel, and Roscrea. Brendan Hyland, Chairperson of REACH, thanked SIRO for their engagement and support of the project: "This project has taken many hours of dedication from the Board and supporters. Today, we are proud to stand in a modern, future-proof building that will attract enterprise and innovation to Roscrea. It will stand as a flagship for innovation and renewal in Roscrea. This outstanding facility has received over €2.3 million under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund, which is administered by the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht. Tipperary County Council has provided an additional €774,000 in funding." John Keaney, SIRO Chief Executive Officer, commented: "REACH is a fantastic addition to Roscrea, providing businesses with a state-of-the-art space to work, collaborate, and grow. Powered by SIRO's full-fibre broadband, this hub will help businesses and entrepreneurs compete on both a national and international scale. We are delighted to partner with Vodafone to deliver world-class connectivity to this hub and support Roscrea's economic regeneration." Ciaran Barrett, Commercial Operations Director of Vodafone Ireland, added: "Connectivity is more than just infrastructure - it's about empowering people and businesses to thrive. At Vodafone, we're committed to ensuring that every customer, whether in a city or a town like Roscrea, has access to the same high-quality digital experience. Through our partnership with SIRO, REACH will offer seamless fibre broadband that enables entrepreneurs, SMEs, and remote workers to stay connected, productive, and competitive in today's world."

State lawmakers approved sweeping regulatory changes during the 2025 legislative session to replace the antiquated Transfer Act with new release-based cleanup regulations. When the new regulations take effect March 2026, it will be the culmination of years of collaboration between key stakeholders, including CBIA member companies, the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, and Department of Economic and Community Development. “It had to be a partnership between the business community and state agencies to get this done,” says CBIA's Pete Myers. Myers and Robinson+Cole's Emilee Mooney Scott joined the CBIA BizCast to break down the regulations and why the shift will have a positive impact on the state's economy. Mooney Scott said conversations around replacing the Transfer Act have been ongoing since she joined Robinson+Cole in 2011. She said the Transfer Act required filings and costly environmental investigations when owners tried to transfer ownership of their property. “An enormous amount of time and money goes into that evaluation,” she said. She added that the process is onerous and inefficient and “chills economic development and real estate transactions.” Under the new regulations, Mooney Scott said contamination must be investigated and remediated when a release occurs. “So, if you kick over a drum—it occurs today, or when a past release is discovered,” she said. “There's no particular requirement to go out and prove a negative.” Connecticut based the new regulations in part on a similar system already in place in Massachusetts. “We're a different state than Massachusetts,” Myers said. “But it was certainly a roadmap that we wanted to follow. “How can we be similar to states around us, but yet still be more competitive in those states around us?” Myers said the updated regulations will help promote economic development, particularly in cities and downtown areas. “You're going to see a tremendous amount of sites become available in our downtowns, like Waterbury and Danbury, that are now available for economic development,” he said. Myers and Mooney Scott said it was important that the state and the regulated community keep making the program better. Because of that, the working group that's been part of the effort to create the new regulations will continue to provide input into the program. “We've been building this shiny new vehicle, but we won't really know how it drives until we take it for a spin,” Mooney Scott said. “And we're not taking it for a spin until March 1. So, it is a huge relief that there is this feedback mechanism in place to evaluate how it drives.” As businesses prepare for the new system, Mooney Scott plans to do a video series with Robinson+Cole to help them understand the regulations. Mooney Scott and Myers encouraged businesses who are either working through the Transfer Act or planning to use the new release-based cleanup regulations to share their feedback through CBIA's E2: Energy & Environment Council. “Members of the business community can be a bit reluctant to raise their own hands and say, I am having this problem,” Mooney Scott said. “E2 can take that feedback and pass it up in a way that helps the individual members.” “It's a tremendous resource to have access to people like Emily and the rest of our members,” Myers added.
