A site at Xgħajra, limits of Ħaż-Żabbar, which used to be used as a scrap yard is being transformed into an industrial area. In this area, 80 garages will be constructed, each having an area between 120 and 200 square metres, for a total area of 10,000 square metres spread over 3 floors.
The total investment that will be made is estimated to be €4.5 million and this means an increase in business opportunities for the small to medium sized businesses. Moreover it will provide increased opportunities to create employment since there will be around 200 skilled workers employed in this area.

When the Hon Edwin Vassallo visited the area, he explained that the Government has worked so that the business which shall operate in the area shall do so with reduced bureaucracy and greater efficiency. He also stressed the importance of a holistic development whereby all services such as water, drainage, electricity and all infrastructural works are carried out in a professional and efficient manner. Hon Vassallo stressed that the owners of these workshops do not need to worry about permits since these will be taken care of by the developers themselves.
