HKJC says its Charities Trust donation has been “approved in principle” for construction of Life and Health Academic Research Building
The Hong Kong Jockey Club has said it will funnel HK$3 billion to support the construction of a Life and Health Academic Research Building at the city’s new Northern Metropolis University Town.
During his policy address on Wednesday, Hong Kong leader John Lee Ka-chiu announced the creation of an integrated teaching and scientific research building in the Northern Metropolis.
In a statement issued soon after the chief executive’s speech, the club said its Charities Trust had made a donation that had been “approved in principle”, and was in support of the National 15th five-year plan, and in alignment with Hong Kong’s first five-year plan, details of which Lee revealed alongside his annual address.
