The initiative forms part of government’s broader economic transformation agenda aimed at stimulating local commerce, creating employment opportunities, and promoting round-the-clock economic activities across the country.

The ultra-modern market project is expected to transform Kpong into a vibrant commercial hub by improving trading infrastructure and expanding opportunities for businesses and local entrepreneurs.

According to stakeholders, the facility will include key support amenities such as a Fire Station, Police Station, and a crèche to ensure security, safety, and convenience for traders and patrons.

Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring the smooth execution of the project to deliver lasting socio-economic benefits to the people of Lower Manya Krobo Municipality.
