The town's mayor says it's the biggest investment in the area in decades.
The mayor of Athlone believes a new residential development on the west side of the town will breathe new life into the area.
The old Ward's Pub site in Baylough has been derelict for several years has become an eyesore and a magnet for anti-social behaviour, according to Aengus O'Rourke.
19 houses will be constructed after getting the green light from the local authority.
The Fianna Fáil councillor feels it's a significant investment for the area:
