The final approval of five municipal projects in Portbou, published in the Official Provincial Gazette, marks a step forward in improving the municipality's infrastructure and safety. The actions are supported by subsidies from the Girona Provincial Council and the Generalitat de Catalunya.
One of the main actions is the opening and maintenance of perimeter strips for forest fire prevention, with a budget of €66,862.91. This measure aims to manage vegetation to minimize fire risk.
In the energy sector, 92 solar panels will be installed on the roof of the Escola Sant Jaume, costing €68,894.65. This initiative will generate 56,113kWh annually for the local energy community, including residents and the council, and receives a €30,000 subsidy from the Girona Provincial Council.
The municipal medical clinic will also be renovated to comply with current accessibility standards, improve internal layout, and update climate control, telecommunications, and lighting systems. This project has a budget of €84,807.39 and will receive subsidies from the Generalitat and the Provincial Council.
Regarding public road improvements, sections of Travessia de l'Església and Carrer del Pou will be repaired. The former, budgeted at €9,680, will renew pavement damaged by tree roots. The latter, costing €17,845.81, will replace 25 meters of the sewage network.
Mayor Gael Rodríguez highlighted that the approval of these projects demonstrates the City Council's commitment to the continuous improvement of the municipality and the quality of life for its citizens.
