The project manager Engineer Koyoya Fuko said here that the work began on Monday, this week and it is a joint venture between the Mwanza City Council and the Local Authorities Provident Fund (LAPF). Officials say that the project that is expected to end in two years' time from now will cost over 60bn/-.
 
"The centre shall be of unique quality that fits within the framework of Mwanza city, carrying modern and alluring design which also fits within the lake context within which the market shall be created," says Engineer Fuko. Upon completion, the facility is expected to expand the scope of business opportunities in Mwanza region and also attract both local and foreign investors.
 
The expert also hinted that the mall will also have a four storey market structure developed within an urban setting and requires a number of design provisions to be made to ensure its functionality. Key among these provisions is 660 vehicles parking and 100 schooters parking which shall be created within and around the market.
