The LAP will run until 2027.
The Athy Local Area Plan for the next 6 years has been adopted.
It follows a special meeting of the Athy Municipal District.
The document, a blueprint for growth and development, is a successor to the Athy Town Development Plan, 2012 to 2018.
It comes in to effect in mid-September.
Kildare County Council says "While the primary focus of the Athy Local Area Plan is to provide for much needed additional housing within the town, it also seeks to initiate a shift towards a model of low carbon development and the creation of a climate resilient, healthy and more inclusive settlement."
The plan also prioritises economic growth, and KCC says, for example, that the "development of the Barrow Blueway and associated facilities will cement the town’s status as a visitor destination of regional importance. "
