30-hectare Energy Park to rise in Tagum City
TAGUM CITY -- It's neither a place where alternative energy fuel is being developed nor a place to do physical work out. But it is a place where offices of National Government agencies are being housed.
Tagum City Mayor Rey T. Uy called the place "Energy Park," which will be set up in a 30-hectare City Government property located in Apokon.
It is designed to provide the people a one-stop shop of transaction with National Government offices and is to be fully developed by 2010.
But Uy wants the place to be more than just a jungle of edifice but a nature's park spruced up with trees and various species of palm.
"This would become a place where people will go hiking and camping," Uy said adding that a demo farm for high value vegetables will also be one of the features of the Park.
Right now, Uy is preparing about 16,000 seedlings of palm trees intended for the park.
Meanwhile, Uy is giving a parcel of land within the park for free to national government agencies that intend to put up satellite offices in Tagum City.
Lately, the city government awarded 3,000 square meters of land to the Home Development Mutual Fund (Pag-ibig), which intended to put up an office to cover the provinces of Davao del Norte, Davao Oriental and Compostela Valley.
Uy said agencies which wanted to put up offices at the Energy Park were the Technical Education Skills Development Authority (Tesda), Social Security System (SSS), Philhealth, Department of Education (DepEd), and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (Bfar).
