Morsi told "Amwal Al Ghad" that the governorate has given the factories' owners consent on allocating lands ranging from 1-10 thousand meters per factory, with EGP 145 per meter, plus payments facilities on three years. The owners of these projects have provided operating plan for these factories, as the governorate stipulated that.
