The Clerk of Noro Town, Gavin Totu, has expressed gratitude to the national government and donor partners for their continued support in transforming Noro into a fast-growing urban center in Western Province.
Speaking to Island Sun, Totu said Noro has been fortunate to host a number of key infrastructure projects that have significantly boosted the town’s image and potential.
“The road project, the new Finance building and the new Police building have added to the beauty of Noro.
“These developments not only improve the town’s appearance but also position Noro as a more attractive destination for business investment,” he said.
Totu stressed that Noro is a town with huge potential, noting that further development can deliver improved services to surrounding rural communities.
He said his office is committed to better organizing and planning the town to make it a must-visit destination in Western Province.
“Noro is growing and we want to ensure it grows in an orderly and sustainable manner that benefits everyone,” Totu said.
Known locally as the “tuna town,” Noro is home to SolTuna, the country’s only fish cannery.
The factory employs hundreds of Solomon Islanders from across the country, making the town a key contributor to the national economy.
The town becomes particularly vibrant during celebrations, with increased economic activity and cash flow reflecting the community’s dynamic character.
With continued support and investment, Noro has a promising future as a hub for economic activity and regional development.
