15 Jobs Announced In New £20m Data Centre
15 jobs are expected to be created as a result of a new £20m data centre in Coleraine.
Environment Minister Mark H Durkan has announced planning approval for the centre, which will see the development of a new building on a site on the edge of the town on Portstewart Road near the University of Ulster campus.
Mark H Durkan said: "This is a good news story for Coleraine. I welcome this type of high-tech proposal which boosts economic development. An investment of this size highlights how Coleraine is ideally positioned to harness its’ potential to attract digital companies to invest here, due to its super-fast broadband connectivity.
"This development will create jobs and will act as a catalyst to stimulate further similar development, consolidating the role of Coleraine as a digital hub for the area. The announcement that new jobs will be created is especially pertinent given the Investment Conference taking place in Belfast this week."
