Vacant Aurivo building could be developed as food production facility
Work is ongoing to see if the vacant Aurivo building at Achonry could be developed into a food hub or food production facility. A brochure launched by John Reilly Head of Enterprise, LEO Office Sligo County Council, details the plant’s potential.
“A significant element of the Aurivo premises at Achonry is vacant and I want to compliment John Reilly and the LEO office whom with Aurivo and other players are engaged with a number of food industry people to explore the potential of a business working from this facility which would be a great addition to the south Sligo region,” said Councillor Dara Mulvey, Chairman of South and West Sligo Municipal District.
“While still at an early stage, brochures have been distributed on this great asset to possible clients.
“This premises has a lot going for it such as broadband, ample parking, affordable flexible terms, and I would encourage any interested business to contact John Reilly at the Local Enterprise office 07191- 14405 for more details,” added Councillor Mulvey.
