Construction will begin by the end of 2019.
Construction is set to begin by the end of the year on an art centre for Offaly.
The Tullamore Community Art Centre Chairperson believes the old Kilroy building is a positive move for the town after a 10 year campaign.
The Department of Culture is to commit 2 million euro, while the local authority is to give 2.5 million and the committee is to a raise 500,000 euro.
He says it is an expensive project but it will be worthwhile:
