Connecting Pomeroy is a £7.1M EU PEACE IV project creating community cohesion, community facilities and an iconic magic forest and visitor centre in the County Tyrone village.
Funding was provided by the EU’s PEACE IV Programme, managed by the Special EU Programmes Body, and delivery of the initiative was spearheaded by a community partnership and coordinated by Mid Ulster District Council.
A programme of community engagement and development activities will run alongside the capital development programme.
A total of £3M was allocated to the forest scheme to develop a visitor centre and enchanted trail in Pomeroy Forest, while also creating opportunities for shared learning experiences with school, youth and community groups.
A Public Realm Scheme to upgrade the village centre, including access works at QEII Primary School, has enhanced the look and feel of the village centre.
And a programme of community engagement and development ran alongside the capital development programme.
New £2.5M community facilities have opened up shared spaces for local people to enjoy, including a new Church of Ireland Hall, a 3-G multi-use games area at the Presbyterian Church hall and a new gym at the Pomeroy Plunkett’s GAC.
