BCDA Clark Plans - BCDA 2016 Annual Report

The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) recently revealed the Current Administration's plans for Clark, Pampanga, which includes the construction of two new cities and the upgrading of the international airport.

BCDA President and CEO Vince Dizon said that there was a common misconception that the Clark Freeport Zone was the entire Clark. The truth of the matter is, Clark is a 31,000 hectare property - or half the size of Metro Manila. The Clark Freeport Zone covers only 4,400 hectares - 2,300 hectares being used by the Airport, and; 2,100 hectares set aside for mixed commercial use.
