Larne To receive £150,000 Regeneration Funding
£150,000 is being injected into the regeneration of Larne town centre in County Antrim.
Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland made the announcement.
He said: "This money will give Larne Town centre a real boost. When I visited the town centre earlier this year I was greatly impressed by the work completed in previous regeneration schemes. There is a remarkable transformation in the appearance of properties and shops in those retail areas which have already benefited.
"I am pleased to announce that we now have an opportunity for a Revitalisation scheme in Larne that will enable other businesses and properties within the town centre to make similar improvements which will enhance the area as a whole. The work undertaken by Larne Traders’ Forum and the support provided by Larne Borough Council in delivering these schemes over the past couple of years is to be commended. These schemes have helped to forge stronger partnerships between traders, the Council and my Department. I hope people in Larne can see the progress their town centre is making as a result."
Councillor Gerardine Mulvenna, Mayor of Larne said: "This is really good news for Larne and demonstrates the benefits of working in partnership. Larne Borough Council is pleased to be able to support the delivery of this important investment in the town centre."
John Shannon, Chairman of Larne Traders’ Forum said: "The Forum is excited about the opportunities offered to local businesses in Larne Town Centre by this new scheme. The Revitalisation Scheme will assist traders in the town centre to sustain their businesses and attract more shoppers and visitors. The Forum is happy to be working with both Larne Borough Council and DSD in ensuring that the scheme provides benefits for everyone."
