The History of Canita |
| |
| Larne Enterprise Development Company Ltc. (Ledcom) is
the local enterprise agency for the Borough of Larne in
Co. Antrim (www.ledcom.org).
Since 1997 there has been a sister-city relationship
between the Borough of Larne and the town of Clover
in York County, South Carolina. Recently this relationship
has extended to the whole of York County (www.yorkcountygov.com).
In 1998, through the D.T.I international Secondment
Programme, Ledcom’s Chief Executive (Ken Nelson)
undertook a secondment with York County Economic Development
Board in South Carolina (ycedb.com). |
|
| |
|
| |
| During that secondment Ken Nelson and the Director of
York County Economic Development Board (Mark Farris) developed
the idea of encouraging business and trade opportunities
between Northern Ireland and the Carolinas on a “win-win”
basis, which brought benefits to both regions.
This led to the development of a trade promotion initiative
called the Carolinas Northern Ireland Trade Association
(CANITA).

| |
| CANITA is now a funded programme which
is managed and administered by LEDCOM
with support from York County Economic Development Board
in South Carolina. |
