Galway Bay fm newsroom - Councillors have approved a proposal for the construction of a food and innovation campus within the existing Teagasc Mellows base in Athenry.
The BIA Innovator Campus will involve three buildings with a two-storey learning centre called 'BIA Eolas'.
This will have four single storey co-working food laboratories for food innovation and product development.
There will also be nine incubation units as well as a high potential start-up space.
