French term

promu à un essor certain

French to English Bus/Financial Construction / Civil Engineering construction of an office building
From a document sent to potential lenders for a property development project in Senegal:

La zone où est situé le site est ***promue à un essor certain***. Les aménagements prévus dans le cadre de l’accueil du sommet de l’OCI permettront de le positionner au cœur d’un nouveau centre urbain en développement.

Destined for rapid development? Promoted as an area in full expansion? Having a bit of trouble pinning the exact meaning down... TIA!
