Completion of the facility is expected in 2023.
There are plans to transform a former midlands train station into a café.
€33,000 in funding is being allocated by Westmeath County Council to equip the coffee shop at the old Streamstown Station.
It's hoped that the facility will be up and running next year.
Fine Gael Councillor Tom Farrell said this is a major step for the area:
