Albania’s planning agency approves Jared Kushner resort project

Albania’s territorial planning agency has granted a preliminary approval for a tourist project which Donald Trump’s son in law, Jared Kushner, is planning to develop on Sazan island, according to prime minister Edi Rama.

“It has received an approval in principle, an approval from the National Territorial Council to begin with. It will come back for a second approval, as required by law, and it will move forward,” Rama said.

Kushner must now submit technical documentation, detailed plans, environmental studies, ownership records, and territorial impact assessments to the agency in order to obtain a final approval.

The project with an estimated investment value of EUR 1.4 billion will be built on an area of 45 hectares.
