Columb Barracks was chosen as a preferred site for the facility.
Plans for a new electric vehicle centre of excellence in the midlands are making progress.
Mullingar was chosen as the site for the new facility last year, and a project management team is currently being sought.
Development of the centre is expected to be incorporated in a 'five-year plan,' and a further update on plans will be available in October.
The Project Delivery Office will be based in Columb Barracks, but Junior European Minister and Longford Westmeath TD Peter Burke says it's unclear whether the new facility will be built there:
