The provincial government already started construction works for the development of a housing community at a Capitol-owned lot in Minglanilla last month.
The provincial departments concerned already started the procurement process of materials for the said socialized housing site, which is expected to be a model community.
The community will also have a water system and other infrastructure support that will be ready when the families finally move in the houses.

With the expected number of households to relocate in the area, the Capitol is studying on the option of employing a technology that will convert wastes generated from these households into energy.
A study is being conducted on the volume of solid wastes expected from the new community, as well as from nearby subdivisions, and their biogas potential.
