The proposal also extends to services and industrial ventures, featuring a project for the development, renovation, operation, and maintenance of workshops, scrapyards, and car showrooms in the expansive Al-Abayah industrial area, exceeding 103,700 square meters. Furthermore, an opportunity arises to set up, renovate, activate, and maintain a drive-through ATM facility in Habouna, situated on a 12-square-meter site.\n\nThe municipality has earmarked August 20, 2026, as the last day for submitting bids for the kiosk and football field opportunities, while September 21, 2026, marks the deadline for the remaining investment prospects.
