The Afyonkarahisar Provincial Council approved the establishment of the ‘100th Year Machine Special and Mixed Organized Industrial Zone’. This initiative includes the acquisition of ten land parcels across several districts, including Bayat, Çay, Sinanpaşa, Emirdağ, Sandıklı, and Sultandağı, as well as the conversion of land for a transformer site.

Following these industrial developments, local official Fehmi Güray Çakır has called for the Afyonkarahisar Municipality to expand its services beyond the city center to include rural neighborhoods. Çakır emphasized the need for improved infrastructure, transportation, and direct support for local producers to mitigate rising costs for fuel, fertilizer, and energy.
