History
Shlomit was established in cooperation with Amana, the Ministry for the Development of the Negev and Galilee, and the Defense Ministry's settlement and national infrastructure unit.[2] It initially consisted of mobile structures expected to be replaced by permanent housing. An industrial zone and educational institutions are also planned to be built there, alongside housing for 500 residents.[3]
Jewish National Fund Argentina is a major contributor to the development of Shlomit.[4]
