Fifty acres have already been identified for the project. More land will be looked at, depending on the requirement. Gaikwad said the state would implement the project with help from the City Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO).
The complex would cater to requirements of business houses in Vasai, Virar, Nallasopara and Navghar-Manickpur areas.
He added that the state would provide loans to the municipal councils of the area for the project. He refused to divulge additional details, saying that the talks were at the initial stage. He also did not specify when the project would be completed.
Other plans in the area • Skywalk proposed from Virar station (West) to Shivaji statue petrol pump on Agashi road
• Infrastructure for sewage, public toilets, fire stations etc
• Revival of an abandoned railway bridge between Naigaon and Bhayandar. According to Gaikwad, light vehicles would be able to ply on the repaired bridge. This will also help residents of Panju village who have been isolated due to the closure of the bridge.
• Dumping ground at Gokhiware
