LONDON-Three major projects in the Birmingham area have been boosted with the announcement of £115 million ($190 million) of state funding through the Advantage West Midlands regeneration agency.

Urban Splash will start work in Autumn on the long-overdue redevelopment of The Fort–the formed Dunlop tyre factory beside the M6 motorway–and it is expected to be completed by 2005. At the same time Advantage West Midlands is investing £70 million ($115 million) into the second phase of the massive Eastside development to create a Learning and Leisure Quarter and a Technology Park.
