Odena is one of the 34 municipalities selected in the second call for the 2025-2029 Neighborhoods and Towns Plan, a public investment program aimed at rehabilitating neighborhoods and buildings, particularly in vulnerable areas. The Department of Territory, Housing, and Ecological Transition announced the beneficiary municipalities and projects on November 12.
The project, focusing on the Odena urban area and the Santa Olga neighborhood, home to 3,756 residents, has a total budget of €6,455,413. The Generalitat will subsidize €4,841,560, covering 75% of the cost, with the remaining €1,613,853 being the municipal contribution.
The 14 planned actions include the creation of a Service and Support Center for associative fabric (€2,396,994.54), improvement of pedestrian connectivity on Lleida street (phase 2) (€710,917.10), sustainable mobility connection between Sant Pere neighborhood and Pla de la Masia (€653,400.00), energy modernization of street lighting and municipal facilities (€622,768.01), and construction of eco-sustainable changing rooms at the municipal football field (€412,489.66), among others.
The Generalitat's call allocates €355 million, which, added to the €227 million from the municipalities, totals an investment of €582 million. These funds will be distributed among 33 projects from 34 municipalities, benefiting approximately 248,000 people. The subsidy covers between 50% and 75% of the budget, potentially reaching 90% exceptionally, and is 75% for Odena.
