The granting of planning permission for two advance technology units at the IDA Business and Technology Park at Garrycastle, Athlone represents a major boost for job prospects in the area for 2017, Deputy Kevin ‘Boxer’ Moran has said.
Westmeath County Council granted planning permission for two advance technology units on Friday, each consisting of 1347 sq m over two storeys, together with ancillary parking.
“This is excellent news as it reflects the ongoing commitment of the IDA to developing hi-tech jobs in the area which are highly prized and valued by the local workforce,” said Deputy Moran.
“I would like to thank Frank Conlon, head of property division at IDA Ireland, for all his work and dedication in bringing this project to fruition.
“By having advance technology units available for immediate occupancy is a major selling point to attracting high-end foreign direct investment to Athlone.”
