Limketkai Group, a prominent local company, has emerged as the driving force behind a groundbreaking 500-hectare island reclamation venture near Bulua in Cagayan de Oro City. The revelation came to light courtesy of City Councilor Edgar Cabanlas during the virtual event “Ang Inyong Konseho Karon.” This expansive island, slated to be connected to the mainland via a bridge, signifies a significant development in the city’s landscape.
For a glimpse into what the future might hold, one can look at the Andaman Township in Penang, Malaysia, a prime example of island-type reclamation covering 300 hectares and seamlessly linked to the mainland through well-constructed bridges.
At present, the proposed reclamation initiative is diligently progressing through the stages of acquiring essential documentation and conducting a comprehensive feasibility study. These crucial steps are pivotal as the project aims to gain approval from the pertinent national government bodies, marking a pivotal moment in Cagayan de Oro City’s urban evolution.
