Mr. Kofi Adjei Ntim, District Chief Executive, who disclosed this to GNA, said plans were being made for a pre-financing scheme by a strategic investor, to build and furnish and hand-over the building within a year.
He said the Architectural and Engineering Services Limited (AESL) had completed designs and feasibility studies and the project and work on it would start as soon as an agreement was reached.
Mr. Ntim said 93 kilometres stretch of roads would be rehabilitated under the prioritised road network programme to be considered for the 2008 budget, and mentioned the Ahamansu Junction-Ameyo-Pampawie-Dapaa Junction stretch covering a distance of 28.5 km one of the roads that would be repaired.
He said the project would involve spot improvement, surfacing, tarring, re-sealing, re-shaping and pothole patching.
