Confirmation of the €30 million investment plan in the former Lisheen Mine site is imminent.
Glanbia is behind the project – which will see a bio-refinery developed on the mid-Tipp site – full details are to be released at an event in Dublin this afternoon.
Once up and running, the development is expected to create a significant number of jobs for the region – as well as construction jobs in its initial stages.
Local Councillor John Hogan says it’s a massive coup for the area.
