Initial funding for the Digital Hub in Roscrea was secured under the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund through the Department of Community and Rural Development.
It will provide a modern, high-quality facility, with space for education & training, enterprise & development, as well as spaces available for lease to start-ups, SMEs and others.
Deputy Michael Lowry says the project on the old Tesco site in Roscrea will be a great boost for the area.
“We now have builders boots on the ground. It’s a tremendous initiative that will be a very positive impact on Roscrea. I’ve worked closely with the local committee and worked extremely hard to convince the authorities of the merits of investing €3.5 million in the project.”
