Uasin Gishu is set to experience an economic growth as more investors continue to show interest in setting camp in the county.
This is even as there is ongoing constructions works at the Sh200 billion industrial park in Plateau on the outskirts of Eldoret town where already six investors have expressed interest to put in their money.
On Monday, a Malaysian investor John Hew from PT Suburmax Mitra Makmur, a specialist in heavy equipment, reclamation, building and construction equipment paid a courtesy call to the County Executive for Trade and Industrialisation Dr Emily Kogos.
This was to deliberate on investment opportunities available in the county which include mining and the beef industry in the region.
Dr Kogos who was accompanied by the acting Chief Officer for Trade Abraham Mengich applauded the initiative noting that it is a boost not only to Uasin Gishu but also to the whole North Rift Economic Bloc (NOREB).
NOREB, chaired by Governor Jackson Mandago has been wooing investors to exploit the region in various ways to uplift the blocs economy.
The factory will create employment opportunities especially for the youth as well as offer market for raw meat from beef farmers.
Recently, Eldoret town was ranked the third best performing urban area trailing closely after Nairobi and Nakuru.
Earlier in 2016, the World Bank rated the city of champions as an investor-friendly town.
