The council is to receive 8.2 million from the rates waiver scheme by the government after it was introduced to support local businesses.
A new allocation of 80,000 euro is to be used for local economic sustainability initiatives, this will allow the council to take further action in supporting business activity.
While 146,000 is provided for the Westmeath Tourism Office to implement the tourism strategy for the county.
It was made clear from the outset that the decision of the county councillors to increase the local property tax in September had played a key role in maintaining full services for the county.
