ILOILO – The rehabilitation of the fishing port of the Municipality of Concepcion may start in two months.
The $5.5-million Northern Iloilo Fishery Rehabilitation and Development Project will be funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA).
The rehabilitation aims to make the Concepcion port a premier fish port in northern Iloilo and raise the productivity and income of super typhoon Yolanda-hit fisherfolk in Concepcion.
The scope of work includes the repair and improvement of the pavement, revetment covering and buildings, and the conversion of the existing wet market into a passenger terminal with a total area of 450 square meters.
Restaurant stalls will also be improved, while selling area for local products will be built.
Meanwhile, a new fish port complex will also be built adjacent to the existing port where 6,500 square meters will be reclaimed, and a 200-meter causeway, a 600-square meter wet market and a 150-square meter administration building will be built.
The fish port complex will then be equipped with water tanks, floodlights, public address and warning system and a power generator. (PNA)
