W. Jakarta office project starts

JAKARTA (JP): Governor Surjadi Soedirdja broke ground
yesterday for the new West Jakarta mayoralty building project in
Kembangan Selatan subdistrict.

The 10-story building, designed to have a total width of
18,500 square meters, is scheduled to be completed in March 1997.

The new office building will stand on a 5.5-hectare plot,
where the mayoralty office complex will be constructed. The
construction of the whole office complex is scheduled to be
finished in 2000.

Surjadi said that the new mayoralty office complex will
replace the old one on Jl. S. Parman, West Jakarta. "The existing
office is not appropriate anymore."

Kembangan, he said, is the best location for the new office
complex because the City Administration has designated the area
as the center of development in the western part of Jakarta.

M. Pasaribu, the head of the City Arrangement and Renovation
Office, said that the new office building will cost more than Rp
32 billion (about US$14.06 million).

PT Jaya Konstruksi MP is in charge of the project.

Surjadi hoped that the new office would inspire and encourage
the mayoralty officials to improve services to the public.

He reiterated that the City Administration must provide the
public with the best services. (32)
