The local Development Association signed a 30-year lease agreement on the derelict building in 2022, with Wicklow County Council now due to receive full design plans in the coming weeks.
This development is seen to be crucial given Ashford’s rapid expansion.
The vision for the new community centre looks to provide a central place for residents of all ages to come together.
The project will aim to create a hub for community groups, promoting connection and cohesion among residents.
It will allow local organisations to deliver support services and initiatives directly within Ashford, addressing the needs of the growing population and providing a space to bring the community toghether.
