It is identified as one of the 21 key markets for construction in 19 urban centers including Kampala under the markets and agricultural trade improvement project, a five year ADB funded project. The market is meant to serve Arua, Yumbe and the neighboring areas.
The facility, sitting on 4 hectares of land, comprises two blocks which include; Block A1 and A2. Block A2 comprises two floors and the basement. The project will also have a water harvesting underground tank which is currently under construction.
“The currently dispersed vendors will soon return to the well-established facility with access to clean water, rest rooms and modernized rubbish collection centers established on each floor of the building.” he said
Mayombwe said Dott services is handling the project as it was planned with standard raw materials sourced from Arua and the neighboring areas, “We are getting some materials such as electricals from Kampala simply because we don’t have enough suppliers from Arua.
