Future of Appolonia City: A Better Version of East Legon that Ghanaians can be Proud Of
- Published: April 17, 2018
Bright Owusu-Amofah, CEO of Appolonia City, shares his vision for the future of Appolonia City in two to three years’ time.
"In another two to three years, I see Appolonia City becoming the next East Legon. East Legon is a well thriving community for mainly middle to high income Ghanaians north of Accra. It developed very quickly and became an attractive area that was able to attract most of the affluent and high net worth individuals in Accra. The sad thing about East Legon, is that it was not planned out. Today, you see property worth millions right next to a kiosk or shop. Most of the major streets are now becoming an eyesore. We have learnt from examples such as this and Appolonia City will be done properly. We have very good planning, investment, and infrastructure, and most importantly, urban planning and enforcement which will be one of our hallmarks to make sure that we maintain a certain standard. To do this, we are working closely with the government to ensure that Appolonia City becomes a truly mixed-use community. On the back of jobs created as well as potential jobs to be created in the area by attracting more companies and FDI, we have been working with government to designate Appolonia City as a Special Economic Zone. Within the site, we have control and investment to realise the infrastructure, but we also need assistance from the government to ensure that surrounding infrastructure coming to the site is improved and we are currently in discussions concerning this. Once we have all these milestones achieved in the next two to three years, I would imagine that Appolonia City will be a better version of East Legon that Ghanaians can be very proud of", says Bright Owusu-Amofah.
