The City Council of Inca has announced the completion of improvement works in several streets of the historic centre, with an investment exceeding 1.5 million euros funded by European funds.
The City Council of Inca has completed the renovation and improvement works carried out in recent months in different streets of the city's old town. The actions, which have involved a total investment of over 1.5 million euros, have been supported by state and European programmes aimed at promoting urban regeneration, sustainability, and the enhancement of public spaces.
Once the works were completed, the affected streets have been reopened to traffic and are gradually returning to normal. The actions have allowed for the renewal of service networks, improved accessibility, modernised pavements, and increased urban quality in one of the most emblematic historical areas of Inca.
“The completion of these works represents a very important step in the recovery and modernisation of our old town. Thanks to the collaboration between administrations and the acquisition of European funds, we have been able to execute large-scale projects that improve services, accessibility, and the quality of public spaces,” highlights the Mayor of Inca, Virgilio Moreno.
“These investments allow us to act comprehensively on areas that needed deep renewal and, at the same time, continue advancing towards a more accessible, sustainable, comfortable city that is prepared for future challenges,” Moreno adds.
The mayor also wanted to thank the patience and cooperation of the residents, merchants, and affected individuals during the development of the works. “We are aware that actions of this magnitude can cause temporary inconveniences, but the result is a significant improvement that will positively impact the daily lives of residents, economic activity, and the revitalisation of the historic centre,” he concludes.
On one hand, the project for the reform of the old town, the Sant Francesc area, and the surroundings of the church of Santa Maria la Major has been executed, framed within the Public Building Rehabilitation Promotion Programme (PIREP), promoted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda as part of the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan, and financed with NextGenerationEU funds.
The action has included the renewal of drinking water and sewage networks, the implementation of a new rainwater collection network, and the improvement of the pavements of the streets of la Salut, Jesús, Nou, Sol, Llorenç Villalonga, and mossèn Andreu Caimari, as well as the renewal of the pavement of the roadway of calle del Barco. The project has involved an investment of 1.4 million euros, financed through this programme.
At the same time, urban improvement works on calle dels Gerrers and its surroundings have also been completed, with a budget of €155,766.88, funded by NextGenerationEU funds. The project has transformed this space through the implementation of a single platform, the elimination of architectural barriers, the improvement of drainage, and the renewal of public space. The works have also included the underground installation of public lighting wiring and the reuse of existing materials, in accordance with sustainability and circular economy criteria.
With the completion of the works and the reopening of the streets to traffic, the City Council of Inca concludes a new phase of its urban regeneration strategy, aimed at preserving heritage, improving infrastructure, and consolidating a more vibrant, accessible, and attractive old town.
