The team at the recently opened Verizon offices on Henry Street announced as the Limerick City Tidy Towns’ bi-monthly award winner for July-August 2024
Limerick City Tidy Towns’ bi-monthly award for July-August 2024 has gone to the team at the recently opened Verizon offices at the former Bishops Palace on Henry Street.
Maura says “While we ordinarily give our awards to smaller businesses in the city, we couldn’t overlook the Verizon team who recently sent a 40-strong team of volunteers to help clean-up the streets of Limerick, and of course for the beautiful restoration of the historic Bishops Palace building on Henry Street, where their offices are currently based.
“This beautiful landmark building which had been vacant for many years has been sensitively interlinked with 1BQ, the striking new 8 storey glass tower along Limerick’s Waterfront where Verizon’s new Global Hub will be based.
