KUDAT: Sabah plans to have an industrial park here to bring development to the district, said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor today.
He said Kudat could be developed as it had many facilities, including deep seas and a port.
He also said the district was strategically located near China, South Korea and Japan.
"So we should build an industrial park in this district. About 5,000 acres (2,023ha) are needed, and the area has been identified.
"We need cooperation from the representatives, members of parliament and the people whose land may be involved.
"We will have discussions with the state industrial development and entrepreneurship minister and members of parliament in this district."
He said this at the Bakti Bakti Madani Kudat Programme here.
Earlier, he presented 444 land grants of 1,130.09ha to constituents in the Kudat parliamentary area.
