LGU Victorias allocated P10 million for the project under the 20% Development Fund, encompassing exterior wall painting, an efficient electrical metering system, and the replacement of damaged doors.
Additionally, the Provincial Government of Negros Occidental also provided a Financial Assistance Fund amounting to Php 15 million which has facilitated essential improvements, such as the replacement of roofing and the rehabilitation of comfort rooms in the food court area.

The renovation of VCC not only marks the introduction of a new commercial space but also serves as a symbol of Victorias City’s resilience and commitment to progress, poised to elevate the economic landscape and quality of life in the city. (PR)
