BAGUIO CITY: The city government will pursue the purchase of a private property in nearby Sablan town as permanent site for the proposed waste-to-energy (WTE) facility and will cast aside its earlier plan to put up the same facility in Mount Santo Tomas because of financial issues.

Mayor Benjamin Magalong requested the city’s local finance committee to source out funds for the possible purchase of an 8,000-square meter property in Sablan town where the WTE plant can be established for the city government to have an income-generating project in the future.
