The Atta-Mills Institute has today, July 19, 2021, taken journalists on a tour of the Aseomdwee Park to allow the media to have a feel of how work has progressed.
The tour forms part of activities lined up for the 2nd anniversary of the Institute which was established to preserve the legacies of the late Atta-Mills and promote civic education.
The ongoing construction work is to help bring it back to fit its original architectural design.
The Founder CEO of the Institute Koku Anyidoho, who led the tour, told journalists that he was grateful to the current administration under President Akufo-Addo.
The construction work he noted last year and as part of the 2nd anniversary, AMI thought it wise that the media would see the extent of work done so far.
The redevelopment will be funded by the Coastal Development Authority (CODA), under the Infrastructure for Poverty Eradication Programme (IPEP).
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CODA, Lawyer Jerry Ahmed Shaib cut sod for the commencement of construction works at the Asomdwee Park on the occasion of the 8th-anniversary remembrance, and wreath-laying ceremony of the demise of the Late President organised by the Atta Mills Institute on Friday, 25th July 2020.
The facelift will entail the completion of planned and uncompleted projects that have been abandoned since 2012.
There will also be additional enhancements to improve the tourism potential of the facility.
Mr. Anyidoho said work has progressed steadily and was hopeful the project would be completed in 2022 and the President would commission so they would commemorate the 10th anniversary of the passing of the former leader with it.
He insisted that President Akufo-Addo must be commended for the bold step he took in redeveloping the facility.
He said the Asemdwee Park would turn into a centre of excellence, research and education.
He added that his observation and happiness is that the administration of today has decided to do the right thing.
The GHc4.4-million Asomdwee Park Redevelopment Project will involve general maintenance of the park, refurbishment of dilapidated buildings and the provision of drainage infrastructure.
Other works include the construction of a mast and a protective wall and the laying of new pavement.
