2 major projects presented to investors in Date 2006
THE government will present two major projects to investors during the conduct of the Davao Trade Exhibit (Date) 2006 under the build and operate transfer (BOT) scheme.
Department of Trade and Industry-Davao City director Teolulo Pasawa, in an interview after the Kapehan sa Dabaw at SM City on Monday, said the two projects are the regional government center that would approximately need an area of 25 hectares and the regional trade and display center.
