BAGUIO CITY – Mayor Mauricio Domogan has ordered a feasibility study on the development of the disputed Asin Hotspring Resort to turn it into an income-generating asset.

            

The mayor formed a project study team to be headed by city budget officer and local economic and investment officer Leticia Clemente to spearhead the analysis to determine the resort’s economic and social viability.

            

The team is composed of city building official Oscar Flores, city assessor Augustus Medina, city administrator Carlos Canilao, city legal officer Melchor Carlos Rabanes, city treasurer Thelma Manaois, city engineer Leo Bernardez and city planning and development officer Evelyn Cayat.

            

The team will be tasked to prepare development proposals and related plans for the development of the property, conduct site inspection and technical assessment of the property, prepare engineering designs, architectural plans, project estimates and others to pinpoint areas for development.

            

The team is also expected to come up with analysis on the market, technical financial, economic and operational aspects and formulate recommendations for the holistic development and operation of the existing facilities within the property.

            

The mayor gave the group 90 days to submit the output.
