A heritage regeneration event is set to take place this week in Armagh.
The event has been organised by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council to lay out its strategic vision and plans for the borough.
The author of 'Heritage Works', Leonie Oliva, will speak at the event and highlight the significant opportunity for economic growth in the borough through heritage-led regeneration.
As a Senior Director at commercial property agency GVA, Ms Oliva has 25 years of experience advising on complex planning projects and major planning applications for both public and private sector clients.
The event will also see the launch of a market report by commercial property agents CBRE highlighting the key commercial property investment opportunities in some of the prime investment sites in the borough
Lord Mayor of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough, Councillor Julie Flaherty, said: "It will be a real privilege to have Leonie here in the heart of our borough. Her expertise on heritage-led regeneration is well known and I look forward to hearing her thoughts on how we can continue to make the most of the great assets we have within the council area."
Roger Wilson, the council's Chief Executive, said: "Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough offers a big draw and huge potential for investors across the island of Ireland, UK and further afield. This independent research will help benchmark the area and offer a fresh insight into the best opportunities in the commercial property market.
"Armed with that knowledge, we will be well equipped when we head to property investment conference MIPIM UK this October, where the region's potential will once again be highlighted to the international investment world."
The event will take place at Armagh Palace on Friday, 28 September.
