This development will include mixed-use residential, hotel, commercial, office, and entertainment uses, alongside the partial reconstruction of existing city hall and the creation of public amenities like a park plaza and outdoor amphitheater. Supporting infrastructure, including new roadways and reconfigured utilities, will also be implemented.
