Mabalacat Mayor Marino Morales lauded Globe Asiatique president Delfin Lee for his plan to create a two-kilometer access road that would traverse along Xevera Mabalacat.
The access road would connect the Clark Freeport to the North.
Morales said the Mabalacat Gate of Clark is now congested with both human and vehicular traffic - most of them belonging to the more than 52,000 workforce of the freeport.
He added that the access road at the P6-billion Xevera Mabalacat subdivision will decongest human and vehicular traffic along Clark's Mabalacat Gate since it bypasses heavy traffic along McArthur Highway.
Pampanga first district Representative Carmelo Lazatin, who also attended the ground-breaking rites of Xevera Mabalacat, said the access road will benefit Clark motorists bound for Tarlac and other northern provinces since travel time is shorter.
He said the presence of Xevera Mabalacat is "another feather in the cap" further boosting Mabalacat's bid of becoming a component city.
Morales noted that Xevera Mabalacat would also serve as the Makati north of Manila or Manoma saying he is planning to create a central business district in Mabalacat.
Lee meantime said Xevera Mabalacat is a P6-billion project that will rise in a 62-hectare area in Barangay Tabun, Mabalacat - just a stone's throw from the town of Bamban in Tarlac Province.
He said the subdivision, which boasts of a Venetian-style theme, is the second Xevera project in Pampanga that aims to provide high-end housing and amenities at affordable prices to 7,500 working class families.
His first Xevera project, which caters to 4,000 families, is in Barangay Calibutbut, Bacolor and only 15 minutes away from Clark via the freeport's circumferential road.
Lee furthered that Xevera Mabalacat will hold its grand opening in January next year, and is expected to be completed in 2010. (RGN)
