Plans for an integrated education village at a former military site have moved a step forward after land from a second base was secured for the £100m scheme.
Previously the 140-acre Lisanelly Army Barracks in Omagh was gifted to the Department of Education for a pioneering campus housing six post primary schools.
It was announced that the flood plains of the adjacent St Lucia base will also be gifted for use in the Co Tyrone project.
The news was welcomed by Ulster Unionist leader Tom Elliott, who said it was a “step closer” to the completion of the campus.
