Works have commenced on the former Percy French Hotel in Ballyjamesduff.
The former landmark building in the town will become a state of the art community building.
Contracts were signed last year for the Ballyjamesduff Community and Enterprise Hub following a €7.6m Rural Regeneration Grant. The project will redevelop and refurbish the former Percy French Hotel and site in the centre of Ballyjamesduff providing a remote working hub and community facility.
Cllr Trevor Smith says the former hotel will become a state of the art community building.
It’s expected to take 2 years to complete with Sandar Construction a Cavan building company carrying out the work. Cllr Smith says it's great to finally see works get underway, adding that it would not be possible without the former minister Heather Humphreys.
