A sod is cut for the construction of Wenchi Business Resource Center at Western Link Kids Palace Road. The Business Resource Center which started in 2018 through Government’s Rural Enterprises Programme, is to promote Government’s industrialization agenda.

The construction for 37 BRCs is currently underway in selected districts nationwide.

Business Resource Centers, will have a bigger mandate to promote and support the national industrialization agenda.
It will become a One-Stop-Shop Business Development and Investment Hubs in the selected districts to support its Industrialization Agenda, including 1D1F.

Again, it will serve as information repositories, which will provide a full range of world-class business development services to potential and existing entrepreneurs at the district level, particularly those linked to the 1D1F initiative.

The BRCs will offer support services to contribute to the One-District-One Factory initiative, including adopting a more transformative approach to strategically integrating rural informal smallholder raw material supply base into corporate entities along various commodity value chains that have been identified to be relevant in the 1D1F projects.

The Municipal Chief Executive Hon. Dr. Prince Kwakye Afriyie speaking to projects ambassador (Amo Samuel) said It would also serve as the intermediaries to facilitate the organisation and establishment of the relationship between various actors in these value chains and It is also part of the process to re-align the Rural Enterprises Programme. 

He made a passionate appeal to the contractor to hire the services of local men and women to also work in their area not them bringing their own workers from outside which was supported by the Hon. MP.

The Hon. MP who doubles as planning minister PROF. George Gyan Baffour also pledge to help them and told them to consult the Municipal Chief Executive when they need assistance. The contractor on his part said they will use nine months to complete the two storey building.
