BCC mulls re-engaging FBC over housing project

BULAWAYO City Council (BCC) is on the verge of reengaging FBC Building Society so that they can jointly develop a high-density housing project in Luveve, latest council minutes have revealed.

Early this year, council turned down FBC’s partnership proposal for the development of 513 residential stands in the high-density suburb.

According to council minutes, engineering services director Simela Dube reported on November 13, 2017 that after the council’s decision to turn down FBC’s proposal, the bank arranged to meet with management seeking to be allocated stands, indicating that they had funds ready for development.
