The LGU can carry out two important steps to demonstrate to private investors that the investment is desirable and profitable.
a. Assist in the procurement of the necessary government clearances and permits to develop and operate the facility.
b. Secure agreements from relevant national government offices and LGU departments of their intent to occupy the government center and use the services to be provided by the proponent. The LGU should compile a list of potential government agency tenants and obtain expressions of intent from these agencies to occupy space in the center once it is completed. This is especially important when government agencies outside of the sponsoring LGU are expected to occupy the facility.
These two steps require LGU staff to be capable and energetic enough to carry out the complex coordination activities necessary.
The LGU can further attract private sector interest by limiting competition to the project through zoning regulations and by providing fiscal incentives such as tax holidays.
