JOHOR BARU: Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said the RM2.5billion project to clean up and transform Sungai Danga into a new riverside attraction will become a new landmark for the state capital.
Known as The River City@Danga, the riverside attraction will comprise 6km boardwalk and other mixed developments along a 21ha site from Taman Perling to Danga Bay.
"The RM2.5billion development involves the cleaning up, beautification and transformation of Sungai Danga.
"Under the project, the river will be turned into a new tourist destination. It is no ordinary project but one that will become a new landmark," said Khaled in the launch and ground breaking ceremony for the project, here today.
The project is spearheaded by Riverside Terra Sdn Bhd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Iskandar Waterfront Holdings Sdn Bhd (IWH).
