The 8-Year Development Plan for Cape Coast was initiated by the Metropolitan Chief Executive, George Justice Arthur and prepared by a team of experts at the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly.

It is intended to serve as a blueprint to guide the development agenda of the city for the next eight (8) years, beginning 2026 to 2033.

According to Hon. George Justice Arthur, Mayor of the Cape Coast Metropolis, the 8-Year Development Plan seeks to boldly position the city of Cape Coast on a pedestal that is at par with its sister cities across the globe.
