BCC seeks to regain industrial hub status

BULAWAYO City Council (BCC) is working on an economic blueprint aimed at ensuring the city regains its industrial hub status, after suffering years of de-industrialisation.

Councillors argue there is need for the local authority to prepare and implement an economic blueprint in line with the city’s vision, “Bulawayo, City of Kings, Leader in Local Governance with a Vibrant Economy”.

Under the proposal, Bulawayo will have an integrated masterplan, strategic plan and waste water masterplan anchored on funding from donor agencies such as the United Nations and United States Agency for International Development (Usaid) among others.
