FIVE potential sites have been shortlisted for further evaluation as part of Donegal County Council’s search for a new library in Donegal Town.
The council recently completed an Expressions of Interest (EOI) process inviting landowners and property owners with suitable sites to come forward, and a total of eight submissions were received by the closing date.
Following an initial assessment, five options have now been identified for further consideration. The next stage of the process will involve meetings with property owners and site visits to assess the suitability of the shortlisted locations.
Cllr Jimmy Brogan welcomed the progress, saying: “It is fantastic that there is a number of suitable sites available to the council and I would like to thank all the landowners who put in a submission to have their site considered for a new library. The process will take some time but this is a very definite step in the right direction which is very important to the future of Donegal Town.”
