The Seventh Ngchesar State Council has recently passed a resolution requesting Daewoo E&C Company Ltd. and the US Army Corps of Engineers to design and construct a paved road that would connect the Compact Road from Shimizu to Tabrengesang.
In a letter to Compact Road Project Manager Min Sok Kim of Daewoo, Governor Duane Hideo explained that Resolution No. 7-17-3 reflects the desire of the state of Ngchesar.
The resolution noted that the positive outlook for a sustainable and thriving economy of Palau is reflective and reliant of a strong and vibrant economy of state governments particularly states situated in Babeldaob.
It said that the newly constructed compact road is an initial step taken in establishing an economic framework that would further allow economic as well as social growth in Babeldaob.
The resolution said that Ngchesar took positive measures to develop its basic infrastructure including developments and improvements of its water and electrical system and now aggressively undertaking measures to further improve its sewer system and especially connecting roads to the Compact Road.
Such roads, the resolution said, is the most crucial component of economic improvement for Ngchesar.
Tabrengesang, the resolution said, is designated and classified as the hub of economic growth for Ngchesar and the state government is devoting its resources and finances to the development of this specific area.
It said that such connecting road is also seen to spur economic development of adjacent public and private properties in that area.
