SINGAPORE - The Rail Corridor that cuts through the Agri-food Innovation Park was initially meant for development, but was kept as a green corridor by JTC corporation and the National Parks Board (NParks).
In a media briefing on Monday (Feb 22), a JTC spokesman said that the entire 25ha site at Kranji Road and Kranji Close was originally slated for industrial development.
In 2019, JTC planned for 40 per cent of the site to be set aside for green cover as part of the Agri-food Innovation Park. The green cover includes preserving a stretch of the Rail Corridor to create a green corridor between 75 and 100m wide and spanning 6ha.
