The project is carried out by the municipality in cooperation with district municipalities and the Ministry of Agriculture.
Mayor Yuce: “We want to set our goals high and set this project up in a way that can be used as an example and success story for the growers and municipalities in Turkey. We will soon start the construction. This project will create a lot of jobs in the area and we expect a significant economy generated by these greenhouses.
