Santa Lucía de Tirajana, October 25, 2024. The City Council of Santa Lucía de Tirajana is committed to giving more land to the Government of the Canary Islands for the construction of social housing, thus seeking to meet the growing demand in the municipality. The mayor, Francisco García, met this Friday with the General Director of the Canarian Housing Institute, Antonio Ortega, to evaluate the progress of projects on land already ceded, where the construction of 26 homes in Casa Pastores and 8 on Calle Severo Ocho is planned, in addition to the rehabilitation of 73 homes in Sardina. The Councilor for Housing, Mario Bordón, also participated in the meeting.
