On foot of a question raised by Fiann Fáil Councillor, Frankie Keena, at the most recent sitting of the Athlone-Moate Municipal District, elected representatives were informed by the local authority executive that the Athlone Town Centre Regeneration and Enhancement project is currently out to tender for a main contractor.
‘Tenders are due for return at end of June 2022. On completion of the tender assessment process, Westmeath County Council will seek Department gateway approval to appoint the contractor. It is envisaged that this will allow for a contractor to be on site in September 2022 subject to Departmental approval,’ the executive spokesperson confirmed.
