There are fears that 'The Junction' retail park's proposed expansion in Antrim could kill off the town centre.
The maul is in line for a thirty million pound expansion, with twenty new stores and five hundred new jobs.
'Antrim Towns Development Company' is holding a meeting at the Old Courthouse Theatre this Thursday at 5.30pm.
It will respond to 'The Junction' proposals from the Lotus Group, and gauge untapped potential in Antrim town centre.
Councillor Nigel Kells welcomes the new development, but says Council is also bolstering the town centre:
£8m to improve access to dentists announced by Health Minister
Fire at derelict hotel being treated as deliberate, police say
Man injured after house and three vehicles set alight in Co Antrim
IT system for Northern Ireland schools ‘largely restored’ following cyber attack
£100 home heating oil grant to be paid out by ‘summer at earliest’
