Experts to chart vision for town's futureOffaly County Council is in the process of hiring architectural and urban design specialists to come up with a regeneration blueprint for the centre of Tullamore. The local authority recently went out to tender for the project, which will focus in particular on eight "opportunity sites" in the town. The sites were listed by the council as: Grand Canal Harbour site; former 'Texas' site; Lands behind High St/O'Moore St; Lands south of O'Connor Square; Railway lands; Coen Site; Lands behind the Court House; and Tanyard lands. "The integrated urban development of Tullamore town centre will increase potential new retail options and overnight stay of visitors. The tender documents, issued on March 31, call for an "architectural and urban design consultancy service" to produce a "concise framework report" that would outline "a vision for Tullamore town centre to 2040" and would "lead to future development of a variety of projects."
