Craigavon Regeneration Talks Open
Public consultation opens today on ambitious regeneration plans for Craigavon.
NI Social Development Minister Margaret Ritchie said the framework would seek to identify key sites for development.
Discussions will also be held on the appropriateness of developments and the likely timing.
"I believe the framework document will be a realistic delivery tool which will help shape the future of the Craigavon urban area," said Ms Ritchie.
"They will be ambitious but realistic and capable of being delivered."
The Draft Integrated Development Framework proposals will be displayed for a total period of six weeks in the following locations; Lurgan Town Hall from Tuesday 27 October to Monday 9 November, Portadown Town Hall from Tuesday 10 November to Monday 23 November and in Rushmere Centre from Tuesday 24 November to Monday 7 December.
Minister Ritchie said: "Having a strong integrated Development Framework in place to encourage and co-ordinate private investment will be crucial in the efforts of the council and its partners."
Mayor of Craigavon, Meta Crozier, said the framework plans provided an excellent opportunity for the town.
"I would urge anyone who would like to express any views in the development of our three urban centres to come along to any of the locations listed and have their say."
The framework document was compiled by an advisory team led by Tribal Consulting Ltd.
