Among of these projects are the Dipolog Land Transport Terminal, covered courts in the different barangays, the Dipolog Sports Center, Day Care centers, multi-purpose hall, the Philippine National Police (PNP) building and other public edifices.

Twenty five percent of the total amount was also allotted for irrigation and water system projects while nine percent went to education facilities and buildings.

On the other hand, road concreting projects in the barangays received 16 percent appropriation and only four percent was allocated for concreting of drainage canals.    

Moreover, the report disclosed that there are still 2013 infrastructure projects to be continued this year such as the maintenance and concreting of public roads and building as well as the opening of access roads.

The diversion road from Barangay Miputak to Barangay Sta. Stabel is also slated to be constructed this year.
