The initial groundbreaking for this significant project took place on Thursday, 26 October 2023, led by the then Minister responsible for Local Government and Rural Development and MP for Okere, Dan Kwaku Botwe.
Phase 1 of the project boasts impressive facilities, including two-story structures with 50 lockable stores, a police station, health posts, 100 market stalls, and three-unit classroom blocks designed to support traders and the community.

Moreover, the project will include the construction of sanitation and revenue offices, drilling and mechanizing boreholes, installing hydrants, rehabilitating existing structures, paving a 12,000m² area, setting up a waiting lounge, installing security lights, and establishing bus terminals.
