County Longford is situated in North Leinster and is bordered to the north by County Leitrim, by County Roscommon to the west, and Westmeath to the south. Longford town itself is ideally located on both the Dublin Sligo Road (N4) and Dublin Westport Road (N5) and is only 90 minutes from Dublin, making it one of the Midland’s most attractive locations in which to do business.

With the move by many businesses into the area as a result of the excellent infrastructure in the county, Longford is in the middle of a boom that is expected to see its population of 33,000 increase by one third within the next five years, according to the ESRI.

Only last year, Abbott Laboratories opened its new state-of-the-art plant on the outskirts of Longford town and is expected to employ 650 people - mainly young professionals moving into the region - by the beginning of 2006. Argos, Homebase and Dunnes Stores are just some of the major retailers that have opened, or are opening, new premises on the outskirts of Longford town, while the town council's policy of protecting the centre of the town from unsightly developments has made Longford a bustling hive of activity from Monday to Sunday.
