The new town hall is the centerpiece of an ambitious 11.6-hectare government complex in Brgy. Sampaloc 2, designed to consolidate various municipal offices and provide essential services to a growing population. Upon completion, the complex will also house the Mansion Convention Center, a sprawling Sariaya Plaza for community gatherings, dedicated police and fire stations, and other vital facilities that are essential for a thriving city.

With construction progress currently at 84%, the project is on track to be fully operational by 2025, potentially serving as the Sariaya City Hall as the town actively pursues cityhood.
Mayor Gayeta emphasized that the new government complex is more than just a construction project; it represents Sariaya's transformation into a vibrant and progressive city, " a symbol of our commitment to efficient governance and improved public service delivery."
The complex is expected to stimulate economic growth, attract investments, and improve the overall quality of life for residents, all of which are key indicators of cityhood eligibility.

In preparation for the transition, the local government has been actively implementing various programs and initiatives aimed at meeting the requirements for cityhood. These include improving local revenue generation, enhancing public services, and ensuring compliance with environmental and social standards.
In addition, Sariaya has been working closely with national agencies to expedite the cityhood process and ensure a smooth transition to becoming a full-fledged city. By proactively addressing the necessary criteria and collaborating with key stakeholders, Sariaya is positioning itself for a successful transformation that will benefit its residents and contribute to its continued growth and development.
As the largest construction project in Sariaya's history, the new government complex stands as a testament to Mayor Gayeta's unwavering commitment to modernization and efficient governance.
