Economic Development Strategy (2006-2010)
Omagh District Council has launched its Economic Development Strategy for the period (2006-2010) which aims to deliver on the Council’s corporate vision to further develop the Omagh District as an attractive place to live, work, visit and invest.
The four key themes within the strategy are as follows:
- Enterprise and Employment;
- Education, Skills and Lifelong Learning;
- Tourism, Arts and Culture;
- Enabling Infrastructure.
This in turn has resulted in 37 strategic actions, some of which are relatively small scale while others are of a much larger scale and will involve a considerable degree of work, partnership and commitment to realise.

Research Into Telecommunications Provision Within The Western Sub-Region Of Northern Ireland
The Councils of Tyrone and Fermanagh have a long history in working together for the betterment of the economy of the Western Sub-Region of Northern Ireland. The aim of joint working was to promote greater co-ordination and cohesion amongst economic support agencies in the region and to strategically position the west as a place to do business.
To progress the work a Joint Committee was formed – The Western Economic Strategy Team (WEST) – and a strategy developed to help address the myriad of issues facing the area. Among the actions within the strategy was to highlight the communications deficit within the Western Sub-Region and to this end WEST commissioned Analsys Mason to carry out a comprehensive piece of work in the field of telecommunications entitled “Research Into Telecommunications Provision within the Western Sub-Region in Northern Ireland”.
