Khaberni - The head of the Greater Irbid Municipality Committee, Imad Al-Azzam, stated that work on a modern technical vocational training center project in the Howara area will soon begin. The center will be built on a ten-dunam land parcel, and the project is estimated to cost approximately 10 million dinars.
During a meeting with several residents of the Howara area, Al-Azzam outlined the importance of this project for the region on all levels, including educational, economic, and social aspects.
He reviewed the major works completed by the municipality committee in the Howara area since they took over, particularly those related to improving the infrastructure, noting that the infrastructure problems in the city are similar in most areas, and many of the main streets within the boundaries of Greater Irbid suffer from them.
Furthermore, the municipality's Director of Engineering Projects, Engineer Tahani Hazaimeh, pointed out that the municipality recognizes Howara's need for several key services, noting that work in the area has been delayed due to the implementation of water and sewage network projects.
Hazaimeh confirmed that the municipality has begun the tender process for paving the entire main Howara Road, starting from its intersection with Aref Al-Batayneh Street, popularly known as (Barada Signal), to the last traffic light in the area.
She emphasized that, through its work plan, the municipality aimed to ensure that the completed work was distributed across all regulatory basins in the area and focused on the main streets used by the largest number of citizens.
She explained that the upcoming municipal tenders would include more paving work in Howara, noting that the municipality had started fully executing the works in the area, which includes road paving, building curb stones, constructing sidewalks, and painting lanes and directions.
She clarified that the paving works in the area have totaled more than 700,000 dinars since the current municipal committee took charge.
In turn, the Director of Howara Area, Hamza Al-Koufi, said that since the municipal committee began its work, the municipality has spent about one million dinars on the area, including paving, maintenance, patching, and opening roads, in addition to the costs of lifting waste, transferring it, and renewing containers.
The main demands of the residents of Howara included applying the division law to several basins within the area, expanding some streets, installing standard speed bumps on the roads, taking traffic measures at the new Howara signal known as (Applications Roundabout), and the development and maintenance of Howara Park.
