LAND ZOONING

The Land : The 1114 Feddans land owned by MARED are the core of the programs and the base of the projects for the next 5 years. A part of the land, within storage zone, is ready for direct investment ( low costs ) , some other parts require infra structure constructions, such as electricity, water, drainage and roads (medium costs), and a 3rd part of the land is immersed in water and needs ??? before infrastructure constructins (heavy costs).

Land Zoning : According to studies, the feasible utilization of the land is through dividing it to 6 zones. The area and location of zones is planned, yet this will be flexible according to market requirements. The future expansion zone is planned for the new society requirements after the area is developed. The zones are;
