More than 5 million euros to be spent on improvements
Maó, Ciutadella, Alaior, Es Mercadal and Ferreries to benefit
As part of the Balearic Government’s ongoing attempt to reduce unemployment through public works, Menorca is to receive 4,170,000 euros under the ‘Districts’ Law’ to carry out five projects of improvements in different towns.
The island will also benefit from a pilot programme for sustainable rural development to be jointly financed by the Balearic Government and the State Ministry of the Environment which will bring the archipelago five million euros, of which one million will be destined for Menorca. This will be used to carry out 160 schemes, at an average cost of 6,250 euros, including replacing diseased trees and utilising recycled water.
The agreement signed last week by the Secretary of State for the Environment, Josep Puxeu, and the Regional Councillor for Agriculture and Fisheries, Mercé Amer, will act as a reference point for the Law of Sustainable Rural Development to be put into action, not only in respect of preparing and implementing the first programme for sustainable rural development but also for future plans for the countryside.
The State Ministry will advise on the execution of the pilot programme and the Balearic Government will carry out the projects.
