Design Plans Unveiled For Maze Site Redevelopment
Alliance Lagan Valley Trevor Lunn MLA has welcomed the unveiling of the design plans for the redevelopment of the Maze site and the announcement that the DUP are giving their full support to it.
Mr Lunn MLA said: "I welcome the news that the redevelopment of the Maze site has moved a step closer. Now that the DUP have unequivocally given their support to this project and dropped their opposition to the conflict transformation centre, I hope that we will soon see this redevelopment completed.
"I understand that the initial work for the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society is well under way and it will be a great new site for them once it is completed.
"As the overall project gathers momentum, we will hopefully see more interest in the redevelopment from other organisations."
