"Ariel is standing at the threshold of a new era, and the leap forward that we are starting here today will change the face of the entire region."
According to the Mayor, the development of "Ariel West" is a core component of the city's continued growth. Currently, Ariel is home to over 22,000 residents. Data provided during the announcement indicates that the expansion plan is expected to increase the city's population to over 50,000 within the next decade.
