£1.8m L'Derry Regeneration Completed
A £1.8m regeneration project at the heart of L'Derry's commercial and retail centre has been completed.
The Department for Social Development has announced the completion of the project at the former Ulster Bank site in Waterloo Place.
Following a tour of the completed premises, Social Development Minister Nelson McCausland said: "This regeneration scheme has given a facelift to this prominent city centre building, which complements the substantial work my Department has previously carried out in Waterloo Place and Guildhall Square. This investment will act as a catalyst to attract further private sector investment to the city centre.
"The completion of this major project is the latest example of my Department’s commitment to the regeneration of many of the City’s oldest and most prominent buildings. In the past year a number of similar projects in the city centre have received over £340,000 in grant aided funding from my Department."
