39 new housing units are to be built in Ballymote this year.
It was heard at this month's meeting of Sligo County Council that the project will be going out to tender in April, with a view to construction beginning in November of this year.
Concerns were raised about the amount of one-bed houses in the development, with 16 of the 39 set to be one-bed houses.
Fine Gael Councillor Dara Mulvey feels that the demand for one-bed houses is there, and that the project will benefit Ballymote on the whole.
