Contracts to be signed for Ballinfoille community centre in next fortnight

The 3.4 million euro project has been in the pipeline since the 1980s.

Purcell Construction has been charged with the task of building the facility which will serve the highly populated sububs of Ballinfoille and Castlegar.

It will include a community centre and a series of meeting rooms to be built on a site on the Headford Road.

City officials are now in final negotiatons with the preferred contractor over a number of minor outstanding matters.

Submissions are expected this week in order to achieve compliance with conditions.

It’s hoped contracts will be signed in two weeks time.
