The Central Planning and Building Board last week approved for deposit the Lev Yehud vacate-and-build project, which will include 1,342 housing units and 7,500 sq.m. of commercial space. Yehud Mayor Yossi Ben-David initiated the project, which will probably be certified by the local planning and building committee at the end of August. The plan is designed to convert the historic old town of Yehud, built on the remains of the Arab village of Yehudia, into a modern town center.

The developers of the project compared downtown Yehud with Lugano, Switzerland.
