Lugari Sub County, in Kakamega County, is set to benefit from the construction of a second modern market estimated to cost Sh50 million.
The market to be constructed at the Pan-paper trading centre in Lugari Ward will be built through funding under the government's Economic Stimulus Programme.
The modern market becomes the second to be constructed in the subcounty after President William Ruto laid a foundation stone for the construction of the first one at Chekalini Market in Chekalini Ward last year.
Speaking during the official launch of the market construction, the Secretary, State Department of Housing and Urban Planning, Polycarp Onyango, said the modern storey market that will sit on one acre of land, on completion, will accommodate about 200 traders.
