Bangladesh Prime Minister Begum Khaleda Zia is expected to attend the “break the ground” ceremony at the Tannery Industrial Park in Savar, near Dhaka on February 15.

The government has already acquired 200 acres of land to establish the park at an estimated cost of $48 million. The project has been implemented in order to relocate the tanneries from Hazaribagh to Savar. 43% of the total cost of the park will be covered by the government, whilst the remaining 57% will be raised through loans to tanners.
