Construction in Judea & Samaria

The municipal authorities in Judea and Samaria (Yesha) are seeing a significant rise in total income from local taxes on businesses, factories and industry. In addition, more private property tax is being paid as increasingly more people come to live in Yesha. 

This indicates a tremendous jump in commerce and industry, an increasing demand for these areas, and a jump in economic activity.
