Clark highlights government infra plans for the next six years

Committed to developing Central and Northern Luzon through high impact infrastructure, the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) brings the Build Build Build Infrastructure Plan to the Clark Development Stake­holders Roadshow at the Royce Hotel, Clark Freeport Zone, Pampanga province.

The Build Build Build plan details the high-impact proj­ects of the national government that offer bold solutions to congestion, the need for jobs and alleviation of the impact of high prices. Helping the BCDA implement the plan are the National Economic and Development Authority (Neda), the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), and the Department of Transportation (DOTr).

The latest roadshow brings together local government leaders of Pampanga in a show of support for the Build Build Build plan of President Rodrigo Duterte. The Plan positions Clark as a thriving economic hub over the next six years—with key mass transport infrastructure and new linkages being built in the zone under the infra plan.

Presenting on their respective development initiatives for Central Luzon are BCDA and its partners Clark Development Corporation (CDC), Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC), and the Subic-Clark Alliance for Development.

Among the specific projects that will increase connectivity from region to region is the new, world-class passenger termi­nal in Clark International Airport (CIA). With a proposed ca­pacity of 8 million passengers, the Clark International Airport Corporation hopes that the new terminal will decongest Ma­nila-based terminal and encourage Filipinos to use the airport as a viable alternative to the Ninoy Aquino International Air­port. Other projects include the Manila-Clark Railway which will reduce travel time from Manila to Clark to one hour, as well as access roads connecting Clark to the municipalities of Bamban and Capas.

The roadshow also highlights the Clark Green City, a new metropolis that sets a new standard of city building in the country. The development encourages green sustainable living and showcases smart integrated systems.

The roadshow is a second of a series of roadshows with provincial and local government units under the Build Build Build infrastructure program of President Duterte.
