A new Science Park will soon rise in Batangas
A new industrial park will soon rise in Malvar, Batangas, bringing with it the promise of more jobs for Batanguenos and opportunities for both local and foreign businesses to invest in the country.
Light Industry & Science Park IV, the sixth and latest industrial estate of Science Park of the Philippines, is on schedule with construction and development in Malvar Cybergreen, Malvar, Batangas. The 200-ha industrial property is beginning to take form as fundamental works get completed per area.
Among the accomplished projects as of this writing are the bridge, located south of the main site, the administration building, administration complex, main gate and guardhouse, and the Service & Maintenance building.
The Centralized Wastewater Treatment Plant is expected to reach Stage 1 completion by October this year. This facility has the capacity to treat 1,000 cubic meters of water per day. It uses the activated sludge process to treat wastewater from locators to comply with Class B standard, the water body classification of Taal Lake. A waterworks system is also in process, with phase one of the waterline installation being completed and Phase 2 already underway.
By 2019, road networks are expected to be completed. The south site with an area of 112 hectares will be passable within the first quarter of the said year, while the north site with an area of 89 hectares will be finished in the last quarter.
For transport terminal and other utilities such as power and telecommunication, bidding and negotiations are ongoing.
