The redevelopment of a historic building into a library and museum has taken a step forward.
Glencairn House in Dumbarton is being upgraded as a part of a £7.2million project and the contractor is set to be awarded this week.
The work will see the vacant building transformed into a state-of-the-art library, museum and community facility.At a meeting of the IRED committee this week, members were told that invitation to tender documents were issued to the five contractors who scored highest against the procurement criteria.
Following the closing date for that later this month, members agreed the council chief officer would award the contract to the most suitable on the council’s behalf. Councillor David McBride, Convener of Infrastructure, Regeneration and Economic Development said: “It is fantastic to see further progress being made in relation to the project.
“Glencairn House has been vacant for a number of years and I’m looking forward to seeing our plans unfold, bringing one of our town's oldest buildings and all its heritage back to life right in the heart of our community.
