Major economic boost for mid-Tyrone
Business optimism in County Tyrone received a welcome boost in the form of the official opening of a new high specification Engineering Unit in Carrickmore.
Funded by the EU Peace Programme, the new facility will provide much-appreciated support to the local economy with the associated creation of 20 new jobs. Based at the Milestone Centre in Carrickmore, the 7,000 square foot facility will attract medium scale growth firms wanting to set-up business or expansion or exiting businesses in the area.
The expansion forms part of a regeneration strategy for mid-Tyrone, spearheaded by business consultancy firm, Techno Tyrone. Techno Tyrone opened the Milestone Centre and Termon Business Park in 1993 and offers a wide range of services within the enterprise centre for businesses and community groups.
John McKinney, Chief Executive of the Special EU Programmes Body, said: “This new facility is a testimony to the years of hard work carried out by Techno Tyrone. It is highly regarded as a progressive rural enterprise agency generating job creation and attracting inward investment to the area.
“I am delighted that the EU Peace Programme support provided for this project will help create new jobs and that the range of programmes and initiatives offered by Techno Tyrone will have a real economic impact in the mid-Tyrone area.
“This new engineering Unit will stimulate further economic activity in the area and is an example of how EU Peace funding has helped improve the social and physical environment of the town.” (MB)
