£600,000 boost for Swansea's Urban Village
Coastal Housing Group's (CHG) plans for a multi-million pound Urban Village development in the heart of Swansea has been handed a boost by the Welsh Assembly Government.
Welsh deputy minister for housing and regeneration Jocelyn Davies revealed that the Strategic Regeneration Area initiative will contribute £600,000 to help fund the project, which aims to revitalise the city's High Street area.
The Urban Village project - designed by Mathias Holder Architects of Cardiff - incorporates a series of new courtyard spaces linking shops, food and drink outlets and offices.
CHG's plans also form part of a wider bid to regenerate the High Street area, which includes the railway station and a separate development being led by Gwalia Housing Association.
CHG's Debbie Green added: "Work on site is progressing well and we look forwards to making the High Street an attractive destination for both the local community and visitors."
