The police station was built in 1912 and, until recently, served as the social work department headquarters in Bo'ness.
But now the 302 square metre, two-storey building in Corbiehall, Bo'ness, has eight offices for start-up and small business use – and is the town's first business centre.
Councillor Craig Martin, convener of Falkirk Council's economic development committee, said: "Providing start-up businesses with the right support and accommodation is vital to help them develop and prosper.
"The new facilities in Bo'ness are first rate and offer small enterprises the opportunity to grow their business in modern, efficient accommodation. We're encouraged by the level of interest the offices have already received and are confident that potential tenants will want to base their business in Bo'ness."
The offices range in size from 18.5 to 75 sqare metres and it is expected 28 people will be employed there.
Falkirk Council will also offer flexible lease terms to potential tenants to encourage the creation and development of new business.
The official launch of the Bo'ness Business Centre will take place at 10am on Wednesday, July 9.
The refurbishment of the
former police station ties in with Falkirk Council's My Future's in Falkirk strategy for growth and diversification of the district's economy.
It is also linked to the Bo'ness townscape heritage initiative which aims to improve the Corbiehall approach to the town centre as well as bring back into use landmark buildings around the town which have been allowed to decay in recent years.
To that end, ING Real Estate is midway through a huge modernisation of the architecturally significant Queen Mary Building now renamed Westway Apartments.
ING Real Estate also wants planning permission to develop the so-called "coffin blocks" and the long-delayed Shores apartment development west of the Queen Mary Building is now forging ahead. Work there was held up by serious
flooding.
lLast week ING Real Estate won approval, by the narrowest of margins, to forge ahead with its revised plan for the foreshore.
Speaking after Falkirk Council debated the plans, Councillor Martin said: "While investment is being lost in towns and cities across the country it is pleasing we are able to see Bo'ness move
forward."
ING will now seek detailed planning consent for the
construction of hundreds of new homes on land to the east of Bo'ness Station.
