The Royal Commission (RC) for Jubail and Yanbu is currently implementing new projects worth SR1.4 billion in the industrial city of Yanbu, including a seafront project, college buildings for girls, and infrastructure projects such as main and subsidiary roads. Prince Saud bin Abdullah bin Thunayan, Chairman of the Royal Commission, inspected the projects on Tuesday, including the home ownership program for RC employees in Jabiriya District where 693 housing units have been completed at a cost of SR727 million. Covering an area of 11 km, the seafront project will boost tourism in Yanbu and create more jobs for Saudis, an official statement was quoted as saying by the Jeddah-based Arab News. "The Royal Commission will take into consideration the environmental aspects while providing recreational facilities," it added.
