Luke Hanahoe, President of County Kildare Chamber has welcomed the announcement of the re-development of Naas Town Hall into a new cultural centre and library for Naas.  The President of the Chamber said, ”This project will transform Naas Town Hall into an iconic community resource which will be utilised by people of all ages in Naas and surrounding areas. The centre will be the epicentre of arts, heritage and culture in Naas and it will form a catalyst for new businesses to open and support the commercial life of the town.  I am particularly pleased to see that we will also enjoy over 770 square metres of outdoor public realm space which is so important to have in the centre of any town”.
