He said some owners own more than two lots.IncentivesHe said the governor also assured those who agree to sell that they will be exempted from paying tax, including the capital gains, transfer and documentary stamp tax.And if they want to work in the facility once it opens, they will be prioritized in the hiring, he added.Shimura said there was a plan to transfer the location of the proposed solar power plant to the third district, so the municipality, which is in the fourth district, exerted efforts to convince the lot owners to sell their properties. He said once completed, the facility will spur economic development not only in the town but also in neighboring municipalities and in Bogo City, where an economic zone has been proposed.The mayor admitted that there are a lot of owners who are hesitant to sell, which may prompt them to resort to expropriation proceedings.On Saturday, the Provincial Government signed the MOA with Consortium Acciona Energia Global and Freya Renewables Inc. for a 25-year build-transfer-operate scheme for the project.The Spain-based Acciona Energia Global and Makati-based Freya Renewables Inc. will build the solar power plant, which will be one of the largest renewable energy facilities in the country, on a 185-hectare lot in Barangay Talisay.The MOA signing was led by Gov.
