Carcar to Unveil P2-B City Center Project

On its 7th Charter Day anniversary in July 7, Carcar City will hold a groundbreaking ceremony for its P2-billion City Center project that is expected to boost the city’s economic activities.

“One of the highlights sa atong Charter Day anniversary kay ang groundbreaking sa atong City Center. Bag-o ni siya kay naay market, terminal, livestock auction market, the city hall. Around P2 billion ang estimated cost, dako ra kaayo but anam-anam lang,” said Mayor Nice Apura.

The new city hall will occupy at least 3,000 square meters of the 30-hectare property in barangay Poblacion III allocated for the City Center. Apura said the old city hall will either be converted into a museum or other purpose.

Apura added that this is just one of the activities during the celebration.

Starting July 1, there will be nightly activities in Carcar City, and on July 5, they hold their festival.

On July 7, apart from the ceremonial groundbreaking of the City Center, the city will also inaugurate its new City Health building. On that day also, Apura, who is known for his no-holds-barred statement, will issue his state of the city address in front of his constituents.

Through Republic Act 9436, which was authored by former first district Rep. Eduardo Gullas, Carcar became a city on July 1, 2007, but the Council had moved the Charter Day date to July 7.
