Annual General Meeting Set For B.A.C.D.

Fresh paint at the new Remote Working Hub (former Bank Chambers in Society Street, Ballinasloe)

B.A.C.D. are to launch details of the proposed new Pulse Hub & provide an update of their ambitious 10-year plan at their upcoming AGM, which will be held on November 10th @ 7.30 pm in Shearwater hotel.

As BACD were unable to host a full in-person AGM since 2019, Chairman Seamus Duffy said “We are looking forward to welcoming everyone from the many different businesses, state agencies, societies, and community groups whom we have worked alongside over the past few years and to update everyone on what has been achieved by the company and the wider community.  The focus of the event will be about sharing and discussing upcoming plans for the town and hinterland, and I would encourage anyone with an interest in the development and rise of the area to come along and see how they can get involved.”

Meanwhile the Development Company are seeking tenders for the renovation works to convert the existing building bank chambers building on Society Street into a state-of-the-art remote working hub through the procurement website www.etenders.ie

Lyn Donnelly project manager stated "We are encouraging all local contractors to submit a tender.  The works consist of minor demolition work & construction works, full M&E fit out, installation of internal and external doors and windows, internal partitions, floor and ceiling finishes and full furniture fit outs. 

Just Transition funds have been drawn down through the department of rural and community affairs for this project, therefore the tender must be done through a main contractor who is procured through the national procurement website.

We recently repainted the building with the support of Galway County Council.  There is a lot of interest in the building within the town and surrounding area, with many already enquiring about the office space. With the tenders due back mid-November it is hoped to commence the works in Q1 2023 with completion date expected Q4 2023." explained Lyn.
