Longford to pass Athlone for shopping?

A new report from Experian suggests that Longford will overtake Athlone as the regions main shopping destination. From the Independent ...
"One of the surprising forecasts is in the midlands league, where it expects Longford, with a retail spend of €241m, to edge ahead of Athlone, at €232m by 2018, despite the latter's central location and third-level college."

At least Longford still has an opportunity to develop in the town centre. Athlone has developed retail centres outside the town which has left town centre like a ghost town.
