Urban Development and Housing Minister Prasanna Ranatunga is championing the revitalization of Minuwangoda city, envisioning it as a thriving commercial center poised to attract businesses, investments, and industrial growth.
During a recent discussion at the Urban Development Authority in Sethsiripaya, Battaramulla, Minister Ranatunga emphasized the need to employ advanced technology and modern urban planning to shape Minuwangoda city for the contemporary world.
The forthcoming Minuwangoda City Development Plan, crafted by Urban Development Authority engineers and architects, is expected to prioritize environmental preservation, ensuring the protection of natural assets such as paddy lands.
Proximity to the Katunayake Bandaranaike International Airport has spurred plans for a new road from the Ambagahawatta area, bypassing Minuwangoda for quicker airport access. As part of the development, the UDA plans to acquire nine acres within Minuwangoda city.
This ambitious endeavor will usher in private hospitals, parking facilities, shopping malls, playgrounds, and amusement parks, ushering in a vibrant transformation for the area.
