The Sant Gregori Town Council approved the 6.48 million euro budget for 2026 in early December, focusing on key investments and a de-escalation plan to reduce the municipal debt level.

The Sant Gregori Town Council held an extraordinary plenary session in early December where it approved the budget for the 2026 fiscal year, amounting to 6,481,597.92 euros. Mayor Joaquim Roca highlighted that the figure, driven by the Junts per Sant Gregori government team, signals a commitment to modernizing municipal services and infrastructure.
The central focus of the investment chapter is the construction of the Centre for Service to People, which absorbs a budget item of 737,155.63 euros. This structural work will be executed earlier than anticipated (2028) thanks to the advance of the Puosc subsidy and income from the sale of municipal land. Additionally, 614,784.45 euros are allocated to general equipment, including the refurbishment of sports facilities and the improvement of children's parks.

"This set of investments seeks a balance between improving existing facilities and creating new essential infrastructure for the well-being of the citizenry."

One of the most debated points was the debt level, currently standing at 70.38%, close to the legal limit of 75%. The advance of the Puosc subsidy to accelerate the Centre for Service to People is the cause of this figure, raising concerns from ERC spokesperson, Cristina Ramos. However, the executive presented a de-escalation plan forecasting a reduction to 62.97% in 2027 and a significant drop to 46,55% in 2028.
To ensure medium-term financial health, the local Government relies on future income generation. This includes the development of the new urban sector adjacent to Mas Simon, which plans for protected housing and single-family plots, and the expansion of the La Joeria industrial estate, currently in the public exhibition phase.
