Overview
In an effort to decentralize industrial growth and empower local entrepreneurs, Murang’a County has identified multiple land parcels across its constituencies designated for Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Industrial Clusters. These sites are well-positioned to support light manufacturing and other scalable investments that can uplift communities, create jobs, and enhance local value chains. Investors and innovators now have a strategic opportunity to plug into Murang’a’s growing economic grid — with tailor-made support from the County Government.
These are strategically selected pieces of land spread across various constituencies in Murang’a County, earmarked for the development of small and medium-scale enterprises. The clusters provide a platform for decentralized light industries and entrepreneurial ventures with potential for local job creation and regional development.
The land is ideal for:
a. Light manufacturing units (e.g., textiles, packaging, assembly)
b. Agro-processing facilities
c. Craft and artisan hubs
d. Start-up workshops and maker spaces
e. Green or sustainable businesses
Each site’s unique local context can also influence niche investment possibilities.
The County Government is facilitating basic infrastructure such as access roads, water, and electricity on a rolling basis across the cluster sites. Investors may also benefit from public-private partnership (PPP) models to fast-track infrastructure development where needed.
a. Lower land and operational costs compared to urban centers
b. Access to local labor and raw materials
c. Proximity to Nairobi and major transport routes
d. Supportive County Government policies targeting SME growth
e. Opportunities to foster community development and inclusive growth
The SME Industrial Clusters initiative is more than just land allocation — it’s a deliberate move to ignite local enterprise and unlock inclusive industrial development. For forward-thinking investors, these sites offer a blend of economic potential and social impact, perfectly aligned with Kenya’s broader development agenda.
