Meru County will be a beneficiary of immense Lapsset opportunities

The recently launched Lamu Port and Lamu Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport Corridor (Lapsset) project will be Kenya’s second largest infrastructure project and perhaps the most significant transport corridor after the Mombasa/Uganda transport corridor.

This is a god sent economic opening for Meru County as both the railway line and high way to Juba and Addis Ababa, and the oil pipeline to Juba will pass through Meru County into Isiolo and beyond. In addition, one of the three proposed airports and resort cities under these Vision 2030 flagship initiatives will be located in neighbouring Isiolo town. Note that much of the land occupied by the new airport is in Meru County.
