CLARK FREEPORT -- The Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc. (PamCham) in a resolution approved during its 132nd Regular Meeting of the Board of Directors, supported the full development of the Clark Green City and expressed confidence that the next administration will support and ensure the project’s completion because of its noble intentions and viable objectives that will support Philippine economic resiliency.
The business chamber acknowledged Clark Green City's Green and Smart Urban Development and concurred that establishing synergy between Industry and Technology with Agriculture and Environment should be the goal of all future and existing urban community developments.
PamCham further alluded to the critical role of the Clark Green City in the decongestion of Metro Manila, an advocacy launched by PamCham in December 2013 and had since gained momentum and considerable support.
The projects’ disaster-resilient design attributed to its high elevation that insulates it from floods and situated away from existing fault lines makes it the safest location for financial centers, key government satellite offices and the most viable option for business development.
The Clark Green City, as a modern metropolis with its mix of Residential, Commercial, Agro-industrial, Institutional and Information Technology Development is envisioned to become a major contributor to National Development.
The BCDA expects it to contribute roughly 4% to the National GDP at USD36 Billion in Annual Gross Output and can generate 925,000 jobs once fully developed.
