On Thursday, the Local Government Board approved new agreements to continue advancing in the plan of improvements and modernization of the city with new investments in public schools, business infrastructures, and replanting throughout the city.
In this regard, the spokesperson for the municipal government, Juan Bueno, reported that «one of the mayor José Luis Sanz’s major commitments is the improvement of our city’s public schools. That’s why we are promoting an ambitious reform plan in these centers, which by 2025 will have an investment of 1.4 million euros to renovate electrical installations and nearly one million euros more for heating improvements. Today, we have awarded technical assistance for the drafting of reform projects in ten public schools. In seven of them, electricity and lighting will be upgraded, and in three others, heating will be improved, ensuring better infrastructure for our children.»
Specifically, the electrical and lighting renovation will take place at the CEIP Ignacio Sánchez Mejías, María Zambrano, Híspalis, San Juan de Ribera, Lora Tamayo, Pablo VI, and the Infant building of the CEIP Lope de Rueda. Meanwhile, the heating renovation will benefit the CEIP Aníbal González, San José de Palmete, and Concepción Estevarena.
Furthermore, a contract for 67,733 euros has been awarded for the installation and adaptation of awnings in 24 school courtyards in the city. «We continue to materialize our commitment to the maintenance and improvement of our public schools. We want students to enjoy recreation spaces protected from the sun and in the best possible conditions,» Bueno affirmed.
On the other hand, the City Council continues to advance in the modernization of the city’s business parks. «After completing the works on Motor Street in Parque Carretera Amarilla three months ahead of schedule, we have awarded the works on Rafael Beca Mateos and Economía streets in the Carretera Amarilla Industrial Park. These reurbanization works, with an investment of 657,000 euros and an execution period of eight months, are the response to a historical claim from park entrepreneurs for over 30 years. Finally, this City Council is renewing these key arteries for the development and growth of this fundamental economic space for Seville,» the spokesperson explained.
In terms of plantations, Bueno indicated that «the Government Board has approved the hiring of the tree, shrub, and palm planting service in parks managed with their own resources for this and the next season. We are reviving a service that had not been carried out for eight years, representing the largest planting in our own parks in almost a decade. This initiative, with an investment of 157,000 euros, will replenish the lost trees in recent years in emblematic green areas of the city, such as the Jardines de Murillo, Parque de Amate, Parque de los Príncipes, Jardín de las Delicias, Parque María Luisa, and Jardines de la Glorieta de Goya.
Finally, the Government Board has appointed Ana María García Ortega as the new General Coordinator of Finance, Administration, and Digital Transformation. Thus, Bueno pointed out that «she joins this government team to continue improving the functioning of the City Council, bringing her 22 years of experience in public service in various municipalities and her career as General Secretary.»
«Every week we demonstrate that Seville is moving forward and that this government is unlocking the city’s historical problems. With these agreements, we continue to advance towards the goal of making Seville the best city to live, invest, work, and visit,» concluded the municipal government spokesperson.
