Of the six lots, Croal noted that two lots are more than 90% completed; the overall project is about 60% complete.
“In the first phase, we are currently developing over 660 acres of land on this site now and we’re spending about over $4.58 billion in the first-phase infrastructure,” Croal was quoted as saying in the press release.
The industrial and commercial hub is set to feature three main access roads to accommodate large trucks.
The works, Croal said have significantly transformed the area, which was once dominated by sugar canes.

In the Enmore residential housing scheme, located north of the commercial area, the release said Minister Croal noted that several allottees have gained access to their land for home construction, paralleling the progress of infrastructure works.
Ahead to the 2024 housing programme, Croal anticipates that contracts will be awarded soon for the development of numerous housing schemes.
