80 Macroom jobs dependent on rezoning vote

A CRUCIAL rezoning vote on a e4.5 million mixed-use project could deliver up to 80 new jobs to a Cork town.

Liam Fitzgerald, the owner of cut-price filling station chain, Amber Petroleum said he is confident the nine members of Macroom Town Council will vote in favour of his project on March 24.

He wants to build a new filling station, retail and office space, a new restaurant and shop on the 1.2-acre site of the former MJ Gleeson and Co Mineral Water Bottling Plant and Store on the Millstreet Road.
