The Saudi Organization for Industrial Estates and Technology Zones (SOIETZ) has signed an agreement on Tuesday establishing an industrial city of about a million square meters inside Al-Ha'er Prison south of Riyadh. The project is the first of its kind and will contribute in training and rehabilitating inmates, as it is expected to attract SR2 billion in investments. The signing took place at the prison, and was signed by the SOIETZ's director general Dr. Tawfeeq Bin Fouzan Al-Rabe'ah, and Director General of Prisons and Rehabilitation, General Ali Bin Hussien Al-Harthi. Al-Rabe'ah said the Commission will begin working on the new city's infrastructure before the end of the year. The SOIETZ will have it provided with all services including water networks, electricity, processing stations, communications and information transfer utilities.
