Construction work has commenced today on the Exchange Project in Drumshanbo, which will see the creation of a working hub and creative studios.

Recent funding of €600,000 from the Department of Rural and Community Development was allocated to the project that hopes to create 40 new jobs when it's completed.

The construction will include the repurposing of the former Bank of Ireland building and the adjoining vacant premises on Main Street, the rebuilding of two out buildings at the rear of the site, the completion of the riverside walk, enhancement of the People's Park, and improved connections to the town centre.

Local Councillor Enda McGloin says the construction company awarded the contract has commenced work today and that the works could last for up to 18 months.
