Galvan Market renovation up
BALON DAGUPAN NEWS
DAGUPAN CITY—The planned renovation of the Galvan Market is now all set for implementation following the groundbreaking rites last June 27.
Explaining the importance of the project, Mayor Belen Fernandez stressed the need to have a safe, clean, presentable, well-organized and customer-friendly public market to attract more buyers and boost the sales of vendors and stallholders.
She said a brand new Galvan market will not only benefit the vendors but the economy of the whole city.
Larry Maningding, a coconut vendor, said that after 20 years selling at Galvan Market, that no major renovation had ever taken place and is glad that it will happen shortly under the administration of Mayor Fernandez.
“There were no changes that happened for the last 20 years as the only change was the tax because every year the fee increases”, Maningding said.
The mayor assured the vendors that there will be no increase in market fees to cover the repair and renovation of the Galvan market.
City Engineer Virginia Rosario said the renovation of the Galvan Market will be divided into four phases to minimize inconvenience to the vendors and customers.
City Market Administrator Aguedo Sta. Maria said that for the meantime, affected vendors will be relocated to the Malimgas Market.
“We have already prepared the relocation areas for all affected vendors and this will be good for 15 days”.
Sta. Maria warned the vendors not to sell at the sidewalks.
Parts of the renovation of Galvan market include the elevation of the ground floor level due to constant flooding in the area, fixing of the electrical wiring, improving the drainage system and repainting of the stalls.
