DURBAN - THE eThekwini Municipality has called on developers to present proposals for the planned redevelopment of the Virginia Airport site.
The municipality said last week it was forging ahead with the plan to redevelop the area in order to generate rates from it.
But any redevelopment of the site could face strong opposition from some of the tenants who have vowed not to move unless they are relocated to a new, suitable site.
During a council meeting last week, the eThekwini Municipality resolved to move forward with its plans and granted the head of catalytic projects permission to proceed.
