The weekly Hebrew newspaper Iroshalim has revealed that a new Israeli scheme will be launched in Ma’ale Adumim settlement in the West Bank only 7 kilometers away from Occupied Jerusalem to build a car park in the industrial area of the settlement that includes a section for children an exhibition for cars and motorbikes and an area dedicated to train bus drivers.
The Ma’ale Adumim Economic Development Company published last week a tender for the construction of the new project which will be established on an area of about 100 dunums on unorganized lands. These lands which are located to the east of the industrial area of Mishor Adumim were claimed to be “state lands”.
The minimum price of the land as stated in the tender is one million shekels. The company said that the cost of the development projects it will implement in Ma’ale Adumim is 1.2 million shekels.
Benny Kashriel the mayor of Ma’ale Adumim who is the main initiator of this project said that there are huge sources of land that should be used to serve the city adding that the project will develop the area and create new job opportunities.
Alongside this project another project is being implemented in the industrial area of Mishor Adumim to turn it into a park.
Construction works are currently in full swing in the settlement to double its commercial and industrial areas in the next decade.
