DUP Foyle MLA Gary Middleton
Mr Middleton said: “I wholeheartedly welcome the announcement today of match funding for the Londonderry and Strabane City Deal and Inclusive Future Funds.
“This doubles the total funding pot to over £200 million, adding to the funding already secured through the UK Government.
“This will allow for progress on some of the key projects such as the Maritime Museum at Ebrington, the Walled City Experience and the redevelopment of Queens Quay.
“The DUP ensured that City Deals were part of the Confidence and Supply agreement in 2017 with the aim of ensuring that all of Northern Ireland benefited.
“The additional funding for all City Deals announced today is welcome news during this difficult time.
“I particularly want to put on record my thanks to my party colleagues within the executive and all parties who worked collectively with all of the key stakeholders over the past few years to get this over the line.
“This is a significant step forward,” added Mr Middleton.
