The Community allocates more than 238,000 euros to projects of the Works and Services Plan for 2017 in Cieza.
The Minister of Finance and Public Administration, Andrés Carrillo, visited today the works of the three projects that are in execution and stressed that in the biennium 2018-2019 the Works and Services Plan will invest a total of 477,478 euros to various initiatives in the municipality .
"The great novelty of the Plan of Works and Services, developed by the Community to support localities with less than 50,000 inhabitants, is that in 2018 it has a biennial character, so that the municipalities can undertake works of greater scope and importance".
In this way, "we aim to increase the quality of life of citizens, as these initiatives improve the infrastructure and basic facilities of the municipalities."
The counselor indicated that "the Community actively collaborates so that the municipalities can carry out actions that without this support would be very difficult to carry out", and that "it reaches 550,000 inhabitants of the Region, which demonstrates the municipal character of this Government "
Specifically, the plan that is being implemented in Cieza includes three projects: reinforcement of the streets of Miguel de Unamuno and Fernando III El Santo, with an investment of 53,028 euros;
the paving in Cuesta de la Viña and Cuesta del Río, with an amount of 69,150 euros, and reinforcement of the pavement and construction of sidewalks in Morcillo.
In total, the works reach 269,000 euros, of which more than 238,000 euros are contributed by the Community, 88.5 percent, and 31,000 euros by the City Council.
"With this investment we are helping the City Council to make a minimum expenditure on these works, it contributes to the balance of the municipal coffers and that can allocate that amount to other initiatives," said Carrillo.
Works in 41 municipalities
The Works and Services Plan 2018-2019 will reach the 41 municipalities in the Region with less than 50,000 inhabitants.
This initiative includes more than 7.8 million euros, of which 6 are borne by the Community.
Among the main actions include works such as improvement in streets and sidewalks, renovation of public lighting, works in parks, replacement of services and works in municipal facilities.
