Two new factories will provide over one thousand new jobs in the vicinities of Ashkelon and Kiryat Malachi.
Ashkelon is to be the site of a new coal-burning power station recently approved by National Infrastructure Minister Avigdor Lieberman. The new power station will, according to the Israeli Energy Commission, help meet future electricity needs, anticipated to stretch Israeli electricity supplies to their limits. The power plant is expected to employ a thousand local residents.
Meanwhile, two hundred Israelis will find employment at a new Tibon Veal factory in Kiryat Malachi. The $20 million factory was built, utilizing only private funds, by the Meir Ezra Group, which backs several other projects in Kiryat Malachi, as well. The total number of Kiryat Malachi residents employed by Meir Ezra Group projects will exceed 750, most of whom are immigrants from the Former Soviet Union and Ethiopia.
