The Amposta City Council will allocate 1,253,000 euros from the municipal surplus to investments in sports facilities, infrastructure, and festivals, reducing the planned debt for 2026.

The Amposta City Council will bring to approval in the May plenary session a credit modification to incorporate 1,253,000 euros from the municipal surplus into the 2026 investment budget. According to Mayor Adam Tomàs, this measure will reduce the net debt projected for the end of 2026, as the surplus funds will replace part of a 4 million euro municipal loan. The mayor emphasized that it is "much more useful to use this money for investment than to amortize debt," recalling that the municipal debt currently stands at around 37%, with sufficient room for maneuver.
This operation was made possible by the extraordinary authorization from the Department of Economy and Finance of the Generalitat de Catalunya. The incorporated resources will be allocated to various projects of particular relevance to citizens, affecting areas such as sports facilities, Services to the Territory, or Festivals.
Investments include the renovation of the turf and lighting of the football field (129,300 €), as part of the Generalitat's Shock Plan, and the renovation of the tartan and lighting of the athletics track (135,000 €). Funds are also allocated to the second phase of the Eurovelo 8 — Freginals Road (600,000 €), to complete the conditioning of this route, and to the continuation of the annual renovation program for the sewer network (350,000 €).
Additionally, 36,000 euros will be invested in adapting the municipal floats to current safety regulations. With this budgetary modification, the municipal loan will be reduced to approximately 3.5 million euros, allowing the implementation of resources from this loan for the Neighborhoods and Towns Plan initiatives.
