MEXICO— This town’s Mayor Teddy Tumang said that that they are now in the process of acquiring an 8-hectare land near the new North Luzon Expressway Bypass Road in a bid to transfer the municipal hall and other government and public structures of the town.

Tumang said that the move will decongest the old town proper from traffic and enable the municipal government to build more needed vital structures needed by the town. Tumang said that the current location of the municipal hall and surroundin­g lands does not provide for space for new vital structures.

“We will also transfer the public market. This will enable us to fully develop the new area to fit standards on traffic management as well as developmen­t,” Tumang sai d.

Tumang said that the old municipal hall will become an office for other department­s of the municipal government along with the old public market.

The Sanggunian­g Bayan is also expected to still have their sessions at the old municipal hall.

Tumang said that the move will effectivel­y decongest the town center and also usher in new developmen­t in the other segments of the town.

The 8-hectare eyed property will also house the new community college, buildings for the fire department as well as other structures for sectoral groups like senior citizens. Tumang said that he is confident with the help of Rep. Aurelio “Dong” Gonzales on the said project.
