Irish Delegation Meets City Commissioners | Irish Delegation Meets City CommissionersJim Hoy Five Irish visitors came to Cedar Key March 1 to learn how we are adjusting to development while preserving the fishing village atmosphere that sets us apart from much of Florida. The visit was sponsored by the European Union because the visitor's home in Donegal County is a fishing-farming area on the northwest coast with a population density not unlike Levy County. Furthermore, aquaculture, in the form of salmon farms and mussel processing combine with charter boat operators to be important to the local economy. Unlike Levy County, the county is quite mountainous. Their county has an unemployment rate of 15.9 percent. They represent the Donegal County Development Company. The visitors were given a tour of the clamming leases by Mike Hodges, and later met with the City Commission at the City Library.
