Former police station could be converted into supermarket, shops and offices
Plus, suicide risk 'very real' for struggling farmers
A former Co Armagh police station could be converted into a new mixed-use development of shops and offices, Armagh I can reveal.
The now derelict property at the Legahory Centre in Craigavon could be given a new lease of life with a change of use in the pipeline.
A supermarket is planned as the main element of the redevelopment of the two-storey structure.
The police station was one of a number of such facilities closed some years ago due to budgetary cuts and centralisation.
Seven years ago, it was placed on the market for sale with an asking price at that time in the region of £850,000.
Now proposals have been drawn up and placed before Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council for consideration which, if approved, could bring a significant jobs boost to the area, both during construction works and when up and running. Read the full story here.
