A €12 million project to restore and extend Louth County Council's Civic Offices in Drogheda is making great progress.
The project is set to bring the historic Fair Street building back to life, whilst embracing the rich heritage of the area.
Once opened to the public, the new facility will house a number of administrative and community spaces for Louth County Council.
It will also see the restoration of the council chamber where meetings of Drogheda Borough District will once again be held.
Works are currently progressing at pace with the New Link building's ground floor beams over 80% completed, and steel frames are set to be installed.
The rebuild and restoration of the north west corner of the Community Services Building is also well underway, and work on the roof replacement began over the last few weeks.
The contemporary design will respect, reveal and enhance the restored features of the protected structures whilst also providing a new public entrance, gateway and plaza.
The work is being carried out by Townlink Construction on behalf of Louth County Council.
The scheme is on track for completion by the end of 2023.
Chief Executive of Louth County Council, Joan Martin said: "The redevelopment and extension to the Drogheda Civic Offices has been an objective of Louth County Council for many years and is an important milestone. It is fantastic to see the building taking shape.
"When the works are completed the facilities for the public will be greatly improved and two currently unoccupied buildings will be brought back to life and will provide additional community facilities. This project will also tie in with the proposed URDF Westgate Vision Redevelopment works."
