Leasing Land in Clark Freeport Zone

All projects and business investments in Clark starts with the leasing of land within Clark Freeport Zone. Briefly there are two ways for businesses: (1) enter into a lease agreement directly with the government organization called Clark Development Corporation or CDC which is the administrator of Clark Freeport Zone, or (2) take over a part of or the entire leasehold property of an existing locator.

Clark Freeport Zone is controlled by a government entity called Clark Development Corporation or CDC. CDC administers leases, regulates businesses and presumably promotes Clark as a preferred investment destination. Like just about all other government agencies here, CDC is burdened by excessive bureaucracy aggravated by frequent changes of top management. Frustrated would-be investors have turned away feeling unwelcome or disappointed with the treatment and poor services of this organization. Steps are being taken by CDC to rectify flaws in the organization and in time this problem should come under control. In the meanwhile many investors took the option of acquiring leases from existing businesses – called “locators” – inside Clark Freeport Zone and successfully started and even completed their projects without being overburdened by the infamous bureaucracies.
