The government unanimously approved a NIS 4 billion development plan for the North.

The total investment in the program is about 4 billion shekels. It was developed jointly with the heads of municipalities of the cities of Galilee – Safed, Akko, Nof HaGalil, Nazareth, Afula, Tiberias and Karmiel – and is based on structures operating in the region: regional clusters and joint industrial zones.

The plan contains a set of measures in the areas of urban renewal, transport, economy, employment, education, health, personal safety and culture.

It should be emphasized that this is a separate program from the NIS 18 billion settlement development plan on the confrontation line approved last week.
