New lighting for the Maspalomas Sports City

 

The president of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, Antonio Morales Méndez, and the first deputy mayor and Sports Councilor of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council, Samuel Henríquez Quintana, made a visit to the Maspalomas Sports City this afternoon to inaugurate , officially, the renovation, modernization and legalization of the sports complex lighting.

 

During the visit, the delegation, which was also joined by other councilors of the corporation and representatives of sports clubs in the municipality, had the opportunity to see first-hand the result of this investment that has meant a radical change in the dynamics of the training and the different sports activities carried out at the facilities. The investment, of 623.024,52 euros through a Cooperation Plan of the Cabildo of Gran Canaria, has served to renew and legalize the lighting in fields one, two and three, as well as install a modern control system for them that allows for efficient and sustainable use.

 

 

For Samuel Henríquez, this work “has meant a considerable improvement in the facilities for the enjoyment of all the teams and users of the municipality, who after 25 years have a modern, efficient infrastructure that has allowed for a leap in quality in the provision of the service, as well as guaranteeing their safety.” 

 

The Cabildo of Gran Canaria has financed this work through its annual Cooperation Plan, for which it allocates 18 million euros each year in order to make it possible for the infrastructure and basic equipment of the different town councils and municipalities on the island can be attended to.

 

The president of the Cabildo, Antonio Morales, highlighted that "in recent years, in addition, a line has been opened aimed at implementing works that deepen environmental sustainability, and this work that we are inaugurating today, in which it modernizes and updates an infrastructure in which no type of investment had been made in 25 years, is an example of this.” 

 

 

 

These more than 600.000 euros of investment are added to another 400.000 euros that the Cabildo has contributed through the Maspalomas-Gran Canaria Consortium for the modernization and commissioning of the San Fernando swimming pool, a project that is also an example of sustainability and efficiency.

 

From the Cabildo of Gran Canaria "we praise the management that is being carried out by the Sports area of ​​the San Bartolomé de Tirajana City Council, because sport is health, it is social cohesion, it is generating space for the young people of the municipality to practice sport, and "On the other hand, project the values ​​of the municipality and give the opportunity to people who are involved, who make up a board of directors and who move forward with a sports club, to see themselves reciprocated with the efforts of the administration," added the president.
