A Midlands town is to receive significant funding following years of struggling to attract people to the area.
The Laois Town Regeneration Officer Denise Rainey also says the funding will bring improvements to Mountrath and increase visitor numbers
€300 is being allocated to redesign the town centre to improve the public realm and meet the needs of the community.
Ms. Rainey says the town is a beautiful spot in the Midlands, but like many towns, it lacks visitors and people moving to the area.
To combat this issue, Laois County Council has now received 300 thousand to redesign the town centre in Mountrath.
The funds will be delivered with an improved public realm to meet the needs of the community.
Laois County Council and appointed contractor, Urban Agency Architects Ltd, have signed the project contract for the Mountrath Town Centre Public Realm Improvement Scheme.
The scheme will be carried out in three stages, Town spatial strategy, Town centre design and Part 8 planning.
The goal of the scheme is to bring a vibrant new atmosphere to Mountrath, in hopes of inviting more people to the area.
In turn, the local economy will benefit from the area's planned upgrade, as councillors hope to attract guests and investors.
Denise Rainey says that the funding is necessary to boost the local economy.
