Sunyani: Mr Vincent Antwi Agyei, the Sunyani Municipal Chief Executive, has announced that the assembly is finalizing modalities for constructing a model market project aimed at supporting the government's 24-hour economy policy. Extensive engagements and consultations have been conducted with local chiefs, queens, and other stakeholders. Two potential sites have been identified for the market's construction.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr Agyei mentioned that the assembly is considering either upgrading the Nana Bosoma Central Market to a model status or building a new facility within the Municipal Assembly building enclave. The assembly plans to submit a report to the Ministry of Local Government through the Bono Regional Coordinating Council for further advice on the proposed site, with the intent to commence construction soon.
The proposed market, once completed, will feature a police and fire service post, creche, washrooms, and enhanced lighting systems. It is expected to operate 24 hours, creating job opportunities and driving socio-economic growth in the municipality.
Mr Agyei also highlighted the assembly's focus on healthcare improvements. Based on a needs assessment, the assembly has proposed building two Community-based Health Planning (CHPS) compounds in Krosua Number Two and Baakoniaba communities. Nurses' quarters will be included to ensure quality healthcare delivery for rural residents.
