Coalisland Revitalisation Project
Project Details
This project consists of environmental improvements to the Lineside area of Coalisland, creating a pedestrian walkway, linking the town centre with Gortgonis Leisure Hub.
The works to the towpath will see the area receive a landscaping make-over, with new grass and paved areas, raised planters installed, new shrubs and trees planted, new bins and seating added, while new cycle racks and new feature signage will be created at the entrance to Gortgonis.
Access to the towpath will be disrupted while the works take place.
The funding will also be used for a festive lighting scheme, allowing the purchase of a reusable Christmas tree and lighting motifs for the 47 new lampposts which were installed as part of the public realm scheme.
A new town centre brand for Coalisland is also under development as part of this project.
Funders
The Department for Communities will provide the total funding of £145,000 for this revitalisation project.
