Athlone joins Sligo, Drogheda, Dundalk and Letterkenny as new regional centres under the initiative.
A Westmeath town's addition to the Living City Inititative is a big opportunity for local property owners.
That's the view of the director of Athlone-based Adamson McGerr Architects Mel McGerr.
The scheme provides tax incentives for business owners to set up in vacant, underused and over the shop premises for residential use.
Mr McGerr says it's something that property owners should seriously consider:
