Vilagarcía de Arousa, November 13, 2024.- The subdelegate of the Government in Pontevedra, Abel Losada, highlighted the enormous impact of the European funds of the Recovery Plan "that are reflected in a tangible way in the improvement of public services that citizens receive". He did so during the visit at the end of the works to improve the Plaza de la Verdura in Vilagarcía, where he was accompanied by the mayor, Alberto García, and by the councilor for Economic Promotion, Álvaro Carou. The action is financed with 170,000 euros transferred by the Government of Spain to the City Council through the program of improvement and rehabilitation of traditional markets of the Plan of Recovery, Transformation and Resilience.
The deputy delegate of the Government congratulated the City of Vilagarcía and the mayor, “for showing that he knows how to get European funds and, most importantly, that he knows how to manage them.” Thus, he highlighted “the municipal vision of modernizing this Plaza de Abastos taking advantage of European resources to boost its competitiveness, with more attractive positions for the clientele and to improve the conditions of the people who earn their living here”.
The subdelegate insisted that the reform “is a clear example that European funds, those that some said were not going to arrive and that they themselves tried to boycott, are reaching every corner to improve services and people’s lives.”
Therefore, he expressed his desire that “this line of collaboration with the municipalities mark the future and more and more state funds suffer municipal projects, because the State is a fundamental balancing factor in municipal financing.”
The intervention carried out in the Plaza is also for Abel Losada “a city bet because it not only improves the habitability, comfort and architecture of this place, but it improves a nerve point of the urban fabric and the people of Vilagarcía are today @a more proud gossip than their city was already,” he said.
The mayor of Vilagarcía highlighted “the possibilities that the European funds of the Recovery Plan give us to the municipalities” and exalted a reform that “combines tradition and modernity”. He explained that the performance sought to gain in luminosity by opening gaps in the facade of the building, which favor the visualization of products and commercial activity, as well as the renovation of the facilities improving accessibility and conditioning the toilets.
