2010 began with signs of recovery in real estate, giving us great hope for a good year that would let us carry out projects that were
still on the drawing board. The year did indeed prove to be a good one, during which a number of plans progressed, and we were even able to see the beginning of construction in the northern Ganim neighborhood.
In the coming year, we will see further plans go through the statutory processes, some of which will be finally authorized.
Two projects of major importance for the whole community will be carried out this year. The first is the planning stage for the high school. After a long and complex process, a planner was chosen for the project, and he has begun work by building a team of planners and professional consultants.
The second project is the foundations and infrastructure for the whole of Block 6717, on which construction will commence, after more than a year of detailed planning. The work will be carried out such that additional building can commence on those plans that have been authorized.
We will be completing improvements on the final two roads that have not yet been upgraded, including infrastructure work.
Following intensive planning work, we will be able to present the regional planning committee with detailed plans for Block 6716, which currently comprises Ganey Tikva's last land reserves. At the same time, a large-scale process has been launched to set up a committee to investigate boundaries, in order to acquire additional areas of land to the north and to the east of Ganey Tikva, up to Route 40 in the east. These areas include Moshav Gat Rimon and Kfar Maas.
Hatikva Road will be completed and linked to Kiryat Ono, providing quick access to Maccabit Road. The remaining eastern section of Hatikva Road is in the planning stages and will require considerably more work before it is authorized.
