The 6.6 million dollar funding project has come through formal proceedings a few years back with the official award of the grant made this year by the Japanese Government to the Republic of Palau Government.

Currently, (CIP) engineers are undertaking site visit at the farm, carrying out the survey at the old buildings. Information gathered from the assessment will be used in the assessment before  the actual demolition.

Various potential contractors are expected to turn up to attend site visits and tender announcements. [/restrict]
