APECO secures technical assistance from Planate for infra study

The Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (APECO) has secured pro bono technical and professional services from US-based Planate Management Group to assess potential infrastructure projects in the economic zone and support a proposed pre-feasibility study.

Under the agreement, Planate will assist APECO in evaluating several potential project areas, including ports, airports, defense infrastructure and related development opportunities.

The US firm will provide research, data analysis and recommendations, as well as develop an implementation roadmap to guide the proposed projects.

The resulting data and analysis will be used to prepare a white paper for submission to the US Trade and Development Agency to seek potential funding for a feasibility study.
