Accra: Mr. Isaac Nsiah, the District Chief Executive (DCE) for Upper-Denkyira-West, has made a passionate appeal to both local and foreign investors to take advantage of the district's rich rock deposits for a quarry company. Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency, the DCE highlighted the vast untapped potential of the area's natural resources, stressing that quarrying could become a key driver of economic growth, job creation, and infrastructural development.
According to Ghana News Agency, Mr. Nsiah emphasized that the district is endowed with abundant rock deposits capable of supporting large-scale quarry activities. He urged investors to harness these resources for the benefit of the local population. The Assembly, he indicated, was ready to provide the necessary support and a conducive environment for investors, including facilitating land acquisition, community engagement, and ensuring security cooperation.
The rock located at the new Denkyira community is 400 meters above sea level and covers an area of 32 square meters. Mr. Nsiah noted that the revenues generated from quarry operations could be used to improve infrastructure such as roads, schools, and healthcare within the district.
He also called on traditional leaders and community members in the area to welcome potential investors and create a peaceful atmosphere conducive to business growth. Quarry investments, he noted, would not only create jobs for the youth but also open up the district to broader development opportunities.
The DCE reaffirmed the government's commitment to promoting public-private partnerships to transform the district's natural resource endowments into sustainable livelihoods.
