The ministry of housing and infrastructure awarded projects to two state-owned companies yesterday to develop an “industrial village” and a foodcourt in Malé’s southwestern harbour.
The industrial village project involves extending the breakwater, reclaiming four hectares of land, and building garbage dumps. The US$10 million project was awarded to the Maldives Transport and Contract Company.
Speaking at the contract signing ceremony, Housing Minister Dr Mohamed Muizz said that the project’s design and the environment impact assessment has now been completed.
The area will include parking space for heavy vehicles, waste management sections, warehouses and fuel stations, Muiz said, calling the venture “one of the most important projects the housing ministry will carry out this year.”
