In April 2023, the Sustainable Community Plan for Mountrath was launched. A copy of the plan can be obtained from Laois County Council by contacting cguidera@laoiscoco.ie
The Sustainable Community Plan includes the identification of proposals and actions for the enhancement of Mountrath Town and its community. It provides a shared vision for the future development of Mountrath Town that is based on extensive public consultation with local residents, businesses, and community groups.
An online 3d Digital Twin of Mountrath was developed at the same time as the Sustainable Communities Plan which allows users a peak into the future possible re-imaging of the town.
View the online town digital twin for more information.
The interactive version of the model is one the first of its kind in the country and the first to be applied to a town masterplan study.
The Town Team was re-established in Mountrath in 2023 and is committed to revitalising the Town Centre. Mountrath Town Team is comprised of representatives from all the local community groups within the town and initially, it will focus on projects which will promote the social and economic revival of Mountrath Town Centre. The team is supported by Laois County Council and the Town Regeneration Officer.
