Infrastructure development rates high among the priorities of the Municipal Government's role to provide basic services as well as pave the way the much needed investments to come. On going infrastructure projects on roads, irrigation, water supply systems and public buildings shall be vigorously pursued.

Currently, the Municipal Government have allocated Php 6.224 Million for CY 2013 on socio-economic related projects and services, Php 4.488 Million for Economic Projects/services, Php 2.790 Million for social Services Projects/Services and Php 1.300 Million for Environmental Management projects/services and still tapping other fund sources such as the DILG assisted - Sagana sa Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat (SALINTUBIG), Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) and the Local Poverty Reduction Action Program for the Construction and Rehabilitation of Infrastructure and Implementation of Social Programs and Projects. 

Other on-going projects include the improvement of the municipal hall, the improvement of the municipal public market and the improvement of water supply system and farm-to-market roads in rural barangays.

The three infrastructure – Road Component Projects of ARCDP in Guinayangan, Quezon with a total length of 40.01 kilometers (with 50 lm. concrete bridge) and total project cost of P65.31 Million has brought many significant economic returns to the municipality and to the individual living conditions of 9,628 residents living in 13 Barangays which was encompassed by the said roads.   The recently completed SINDACAR-BAGVIL Inter-ARC Barangay Road has connected this municipality to the Municipality of Buenavista, Quezon and served as the gateway to the rest of Bondoc Peninsula municipalities. 

The completion of these roads has made the access of the people living in said barangays much easier to Metro Poblacion where all the basic services and opportunities are present.  Before ARCDP 1, access to 8 of the 13 covered barangays was possible only through passenger bancas via Ragay Gulf.  These bancas have only about twice a day trip, once in the morning and another one in the afternoon.  Today, the residents can go to the Poblacion anytime of the day and at a much lesser time through the passenger jeepneys which have grown in number since the completion of the roads.  Even tricycles can now go as far as Brgy. Dancalan Central using the rehabilitated and newly constructed road.  Moreover, population in Brgy. Manggagawa and Himbubulo Este has grown significantly due to new residential subdivisions emerging in these barangays.  A number of newly constructed residential units could be seen along the road.

           Also, with the funding assistance from the WB-DAR-ARCDP, the Constructions of Dancalan Caimawan Communal Irrigation Project and of the Sintones-Arbismen Communal irrigation Project were likewise envisioned to dramatically increase the harvest of the agricultural sectors of the community in these ARCDP-covered barangays.  The Irrigators’ Association in Barangay Dancalan Caimawan though barely starting has reportedly increased their rice production since the completion of their irrigation project.  Their planting cycles have also been increased from once to twice to 3 times a year.  Since the nearly-completed Sintones-Arbismen Communal Irrigation Project is not yet in operation, no data comparison on rice production could be done yet.  But base on the extent and wide coverage of this irrigation project, the irrigators’ association there and the municipal government foresee the doubling increase in rice production in that area also.  This positive trend will surely help attain the municipal’s goal of self-sufficiency in rice.
