Minister in Prime Minister’s Office, Lim Hwee Hua, has announced a S$7.05 million Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP) for some 2,100 units in Serangoon North.
Residents can look forward to new facilities like covered linkways, footpaths, fitness corners and surveillance systems.
Aljunied Town Council says it is a fully-funded government project.
A polling exhibition will be held and the upgrading will only proceed if 75 per cent or more of the eligible household units in the precinct are in favour.
The NRP involves 25 blocks which are located at Blocks 121-127, 142-148, 151-154, Serangoon North Ave 1, and Blocks 135-141 Serangoon North Ave 2.
The project is scheduled to begin in the fourth quarter of 2010 and complete by the fourth quarter of 2012.
