The compound accommodates up to 18,000 individuals, providing housing facilities, food services, transportation, recreation activities, security and medical services for temporary resident workers.
The facility will also have a medical clinic capable of providing primary and urgent care services suitable to not only the entire tenant workforce but will be open to the general public. Several dignitaries, government agencies and businesses were in attendance including Governor Eddie Calvo, who says he is glad the workforce housing will incorporate job training for both local workers and those from the neighboring Micronesia area.
