August test run for Capitol interactive fountain set
THE interactive fountain that is being built as part of the Capitol Complex redevelopment program is set for a test run in August, the provincial government announced last week.
Provincial Engineer Amadeo Veras said the overall improvements at the Capitol grounds are expected to be finished by the end of the year.
“(Completion rate) of Phase II is 62.39%,” he said.
Meanwhile, Gov. Ramon Guico III said that there is a need for efficiency in government transactions and that can be realized with the construction of the 11-storey government center/tower that will house all provincial and line agency offices.
Work on the building kicked off with the demolition of the former Provincial Training Center 1.
Some of the affected offices have been relocated with the Provincial Legal Office now at the Finance building, the Family Court at the Legislative building, and the Land Registration Authority to the Narciso Ramos Sports and Civic Center (NRSCC) complex.
The Philippine Veterans Affairs and National Commission on Indigenous Peoples offices are planned to be temporarily relocated in the vacant stalls at the back of Palaris building, while a proposed relocation site for the office of the Girl Scouts of the Philippines has been identified.
Veras also asked the public to be patient with the inconvenience caused by the construction of the drainage system, which he said will benefit not just Lingayen town but the entire province.
The Capitol Complex will have pedestrian-friendly sidewalks, an intelligent traffic light system, open spaces, and better WiFi, among other structures. (PIMRO/RFR/EG)
