Levelling Up Fund

Levelling Up is here, breathing new life into businesses all over Northern Ireland. The UK Government is investing £342 million in Levelling Up projects for local people and businesses across Northern Ireland.

What is Levelling Up?

Levelling Up means creating opportunities for everyone across the UK by: 

improving jobs, pay and living standards 
making streets safer 
protecting health and wellbeing 
investing in high streets and town centres 
improving local transport

£5 million from the Levelling Up Fund will help to regenerate the town centres in Glengormley and Antrim.

Workspace Hubs

The funding received through Levelling Up alongside the Council’s investment of over £5m, will create two state of the art flagship hubs, offering 16,000 sq ft of offices/workspace and shared areas in each town centre. This modern, flexible and highly accessible accommodation will meet the needs of new start up businesses, early growth businesses and budding entrepreneurs.

Watch the transformation take shape at…

Antrim - Former Wellworths Building on the High Street with new riverfront access.

Glengormley - Former Police Station site at the Junction of the Glenwell Road and the Antrim Road.
