The new covered civic space area in Roscommon Town will be accessible to the public from the end of this week, Roscommon County Council has announced. “The aim of the project has been to design and construct an innovative, architectural and artistically influenced covered civic space to the area north of the Bank of Ireland as well as providing visual enhancement to the laneways approaching the Main Street and Market Square areas of Roscommon Town,” said a spokesman. This project is the final element of the Roscommon Town Main Street and Market Square Public Realm Project, funded under the Urban Regeneration and Development Fund (URDF) and Roscommon County Council. “The design of the covered civic space complements the strong architectural and built heritage within the Market Square, which features the Old Gaol, the Bank of Ireland and the County Museum. Director of Services with Roscommon County Council, Mark Keaveney has hailed the project as a vital piece of infrastructure for Roscommon Town with the potential to transform the town’s commercial, cultural and social life.
