Builders are expected to finish Tullamore's new arts centre by the end of July.
Local representatives have received a tour of the construction site at the old Kilroy's premises on High Street and described it as a state-of-the-art facility, with a vast stage and auditorium and rooms for groups to meet.
The building, which is considerably bigger than the façade suggests, is being supported by the local authority, ACCESS grants and ongoing community fundraising.
Cathaoirleach of Tullamore, Councillor Tony McCormack says it's already had an impact on other buildings on the street:
