The Danao City Highland Leisure District, the reconstruction of the city’s public market, the construction of a parking building, the upgrading of the transportation sector by private company TransportX, the establishment of a sports complex, and the phase 2 construction of a bulk water project are among the projects that are anticipated, according to Ramon Gorre, officer-in-charge of the city’s Planning and Development Office, who made the announcement during the recent Investment Forum.
The highland leisure district will include restaurants, coffee shops, high-rise office buildings, condominium units and road networks. It will be set up in a 200-hectare area.
There will also be two 18-hole golf courses near the leisure district.
The projects also involve the renovation of the Danao City Public Market, the building of the Guinsay Satellite Market, and a parking structure that can accommodate 350 cars and 300 motorbikes.
The parking building is anticipated to generate an income of P25 million annually.
The city administration will also partner with TransitX for the establishment of solar-powered flying pods.
It also plans to undertake Phase 2 of the Bulk Water Project and build a sports center in Barangay Maslog with an Olympic-sized swimming pool that can accommodate sporting occasions like the CVIRAA (Central Visayas Regional Athletic Association) meet and Palarong Pambansa.
The P30 million bulk water project consists of a water treatment facility in Barangay Guinacot that would provide water to the homes via underground pipelines, as well as a water dam with a capacity of 25,000 cubic meters of surface water.
A large mall, a car showroom, a food manufacturing facility, a hospital, residential units, and a waste-to-energy facility are all anticipated to emerge in the city.
Mayor Thomas “Mix” Durano said the city is open and ready to embrace the people who want to invest their money and start businesses there to advance the city’s growth. (ANV, TPT)
