Ł30m new town centre planned for Athlone

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2001 / March 22 2001: Ł30m new town centre planned for Athlone

Plans for a major Ł30 million redevelopment of Athlone town centre have been lodged by Athlone Urban District Council. The application lodged last week envisages a new town square on a four-acre site surrounding St Mary's Church, with a civic plaza over an underground car-park, high quality shopping units and apartments. The centre piece of the new development is to be a Ł10 million civic centre incorporating the library, childcare facilities, the local authority offices and a spectacular vaulted council chamber.
