Westmeath County Council were granted funding under the Urban Regeneration Development Fund to progress the planning, design and construction of the Athlone Town Centre Regeneration Project.
The Athlone Town Centre Regeneration & Enhancement Project builds on the enhancement scheme previously delivered along Church St to create a vibrant town centre, with inviting streetscapes that entice pedestrians and patrons to explore and discover the heart of Athlone. It extends the Natural Stone Surface Treatments, Street Furniture and Public Lighting improvements to Mardyke St and Pump Lane. The project also includes the pedestrianisation of Sean Costello St, creating an open and inviting link between the retail areas within the town centre of Athlone and a space that is accessible and appealing to all regardless of age, ability, or disability.
Planning for the project was granted in June 2021. Following detailed design, a contractor was appointed to undertake the works. The project was officially opened by Cathaoirleach Liam McDaniel in November 2024. Cllr McDaniel thanked the business owners and the public for their ongoing co-operation throughout the construction stage of this project.
This project adds to the list of completed works and future projects in the pipeline to bring Athlone to the fore, as a vibrant, inclusive, and positive place to live, work, study and visit.
