ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN

FOCUS AREA 2: THE GATEWAY - TRANSIT ORIENTATED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) “The Gateway� is a mixed-use project formally marking and celebrating the arrival to Isiolo. Set in a strategic location of town, it sits beside the new Market building (under construction) and opposite the new Stadia, which is also under development. This zone is known for its exposure to seasonal and repeated floods. The Municipality has allocated, and is keen to retain the site, for a new bus station albeit this being exposed to flood risks. As such, a robust flood management strategy is necessary to mitigate and contain the risks associated with the area, whilst releasing enhanced development potential across the site.
