The Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-Plus, has unveiled ambitious plans to construct a port, develop a Free Zones enclave, and establish a new city within the constituency.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, he revealed that groundwork for the projects is already underway, with land secured and financial commitments made in collaboration with traditional leaders.
According to Mr. Obeng, the entrance to the Free Zones area and the proposed new city will be launched before the end of the year, as part of efforts to transform Gomoa Central into an industrial and commercial hub.
He noted that the constituency’s strategic location along a major African trade corridor offers a unique opportunity for industrialisation, with the projects expected to boost business activities and create employment.
The MP also reiterated his ambition to build what he described as the largest industrial park in Africa, stressing that government support will be key to achieving the vision.
“I am very ambitious about our future plans. We want to build a port, and I am in discussion with my constituents about how we can achieve this together. All we need is government support. Our goal is to establish the largest industrial park in Africa, and my community is in full support of this vision. The Free Zones area will create numerous opportunities for businesses,” he said.
He added: “We are also in talks with the African Union regarding duty-free status to access wider markets. Currently, we are completing all the necessary groundwork and have already paid for the land.
"The local chiefs have been supportive, and we have made significant financial commitments. By the end of this year, we plan to launch the entrance to the Free Zones and the new city we want to develop. We are very serious about these plans, and we are not backing down.”
