The goal is to deliver housing units to beneficiaries, launch new units, and improve the services provided to residents.
The Head of the New Sohag City Development Authority and authority officials inspected the progress of 1,356 housing units under the Housing for All Egyptians project in the city. The inspection tour included monitoring interior and exterior finishing works and utility installations. The Minister stressed the need to adhere to the designated timeline and complete the project by the highest quality standards.
Additionally, the Head of the Authority inspected the rehabilitation and paving of major roads, including the road extending from the banking area to the wholesale market and the road leading to the industrial zone. Roads connecting to the new housing project in the 735-acre area were also included in the inspection to enhance infrastructure and improve road quality.
The tour also covered landscaping and beautification efforts along Airport Road and the city’s southern entrance.
