Triviño recalled that “the urgency of the plenary session is due to the fact that the file had to be approved before December 28, because, otherwise, we would be forced to start from scratch,” he said, recalling that the modification of the General Plan in this The area began in 2009, without being able to unblock it until now, according to the mayor, because “since 2015, when I took office, there have been objections from the Council and corrections from the Government, in addition to a 2017 Land Law,” she said. She remarked that “it is amazing that it has taken us 15 years to carry out this substantial modification that is so important for Candelaria,” Brito said.
He also announced that, once the modification is published in the BOP, the Ministry of Health will draft the project to create the health center, a plaza and green areas on the 1,700 square meters of the plot and he is confident that “in a couple of years “works begin”, as well as the area that borders the Aroba ravine, on the Los Menceyes urbanization, where the Icavi (Canarian Housing Institute) will be in charge of the construction of officially protected housing (VPO).
