Galway Bay fm newsroom - Galway City Council is to move forward with a proposal for a major mixed-use development at the Dyke Road.
A design team is expected to be appointed in early 2021 - with the proposal then going to public consultation.
The planned development will see a mix of up to 250 units - consisting of affordable homes, cost rental homes and retail and commercial units.
Meanwhile, the Black Box Theatre will also be relocated as part of the project - with the alternative site to be selected as part of the design process.
Details of the proposal were presented by the Land Development Agency to Council members at a meeting this week.
Fine Gael City Councillor Eddie Hoare says the project will address the serious need for affordable housing in the city if it goes ahead - to hear more, tune in to Galway Bay fm news on the hour...
