Engineer Asmaa Makhlouf, Head of the New Suez City Authority, hosted a number of investors from the industrial district in the presence of the authority’s officials. The meeting aimed to discuss the most pressing challenges facing the industrial sector in the city and to review proposed solutions to overcome them. This initiative comes in line with the directives of Engineer Sherif El-Sherbiny, Minister of Housing, Utilities, and Urban Communities, to strengthen the investment climate and solidify partnerships with investors.
Engineer Asmaa opened the meeting by emphasizing the key role played by the authority in developing the industrial zone’s infrastructure, particularly in the areas of water and sanitation. She explained that the upgrading of the main water transmission line, with a diameter of 900 mm, had been completed. This included replacing over 7 kilometers of GRP pipelines with HDPE pipelines, in addition to constructing an alternative line in the first sector of the main pipeline to ensure service continuity and minimize the impact of malfunctions and emergencies.
The meeting also addressed progress on the project for reusing treated wastewater from the Ataqa Treatment Plant, which is being repurposed for irrigating green spaces and supplying certain industrial activities. This contributes to reducing reliance on potable water. In the same context, she highlighted ongoing efforts to improve the environmental quality of the industrial district, including the creation of a tree-lined buffer to mitigate dust and air pollution, as well as a plan to plant 3,000 trees to support environmental balance.
In response to investor inquiries regarding issues of water supply interruptions and fluctuations, Engineer Asmaa confirmed that there is ongoing coordination with relevant authorities and a commitment to finding long-term solutions. For their part, the investors expressed appreciation for the effective communication with the authority and praised its transparency, affirming the importance of maintaining this approach to overcome obstacles and support investment growth.
It is worth noting that the New Suez City Authority is committed to holding monthly meetings with investors to discuss challenges and propose solutions as part of its broader plan to create a stable and encouraging investment environment.
