Business scheme targets Craigavon

PORTADOWN and Lurgan are to be targeted in a business matching scheme which is being extended after successful first year.

The Craigavon Borough Council seeks to "to unlock Portadown and Lurgan's retail potential" with the initiative which it said had seen a solid increase in the number of businesses taking up commercial space in the towns. Craigavon's first business matching scheme got under way in 2013 with a major one-stop networking event for businesses, investors and commercial landlords and agents.
