Clearing of the site for the construction of an airport for the Volta Region at Tritrinu, near Ho, is expected to begin on Saturday, April 4, 2015.
To pave way for the clearing, the Volta Regional Minister, Ms Helen Adjoa Ntoso, yesterday presented the site plan for the airport to Falcom Crest Investment, the company to undertake the project.
Campaign promise She urged the contractor to expedite work to the expectation of the people, adding that the project was at the heart of the people, as well as a campaign promise made by President John Dramani Mahama to the people of the Volta Region during the 2012 elections.
The Chief Executive Officer of Falcom Crest Investment, Mr Samuel Kofi Diame, promised to deliver on time and execute the task by the end of December next year.
The Volta Regional Director of the Lands Commission, Mr Gershon Tsra, disclosed that the land available for the airport project was 1,500 acres.
That, he said, required that a school located within the area, the Ho Airfield MA School Complex, would have to be relocated.
