Espino will negotiate for seaport and airport rehab
LINGAYEN— Gov. Amado Espino Jr. was recently authorized by the provincial board to negotiate with qualified entities for the upgrading of the Lingayen Airport and the establishment of a commercial seaport in Sual.
The twin resolutions, authored by Board Member Romeo Dadacay, said they are necessary to propel the province into “greater heights of industrialization, and promote tourism and investments.”
SP resolution 86-2007 described the Lingayen airport to be in “a pitiful state, not having been maintained and sorely lacking essential facilities and equipment.”
Sual, meanwhile, was described as an ideal place for a commercial seaport since it is within the Sual Cove which protects shipping vessels from trade winds, monsoons and cyclonic storms.
Earlier, Espino reportedly met with Department of Transportation and Communications to discuss the feasibility of a commercial airport in Sta. Barbara.
The development of Sual as a seaport has been in the drawing board for decades now but no progress has been made for its planned construction. #
