City Planning and Development Officer Melinda Cabato said they have identified 10 places in the city to be converted into commercial districts.
Cabato said the present commercial area in downtown would serve as the central commercial center of the city.
She added that the expansion of commercial places is aimed to attract more businessmen locally, as well as those from other places to pour in investments.
She said there will be also more job employment opportunities with more investments coming in.
Zamboanga City serves as the center for shopping by people from nearby provinces. The city has several big business establishments that are selling good quality products that could be found in some of the major malls in the metropolis.
Aside from that, business establishment owners from nearby provinces acquire their stocks through the local malls. (Bong Garcia)
