Construction of the New Public Market Building

The contractor shall build it first then upon completion, turn it over to the Local Government Unit of Bansalan (LGU Bansalan). This scheme is widely known as Build and Transfer or BT. The construction of the 2 storey public market building had already started a couple of months ago and it was being handled by RG Salanatin Construction Inc. Projected total project cost is about 70 Million Pesos. The LGU Bansalan thru the leadership of Mayor Edwin G. Reyes, had tapped the assistance of a commercial bank to finance the construction of the modern public market building. It can be recalled that the old building was turned into ashes when a fire sprouted last December 27, 2009.
