1st phase done for ‘surfing-inspired’ La Union Convention Center
THE FIRST PHASE of the first convention center in Ilocos Region, located in San Fernando City, La Union, is now complete, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) announced yesterday. “This first convention center in the region will have a unique architectural and aesthetic design inspired by La Union province’s famous surfing destination,” DPWH Region 1 Director Ronnel M. Tan said in a statement. DPWH said funding for the second phase of the project would be included under the proposed 2019 General Appropriations Act (GAA). The La Union Convention Center, a three-storey multipurpose building in a 2,000-square meter lot, is a joint project of the DPWH and the provincial government of La Union, funded under the Local Infrastructure Project Program.
