The Arrecife City Council has taken a further step in the project of the future Argana Alta Health Center, by correcting the last requirement so that the environmental assessment modification can be processed and the plot becomes for sanitary use.
“We trust that this will be the last hurdle before starting the procedures to begin the work, and that in this way one of the historical demands of the Argana Alta neighborhood will materialize,” says the mayor of Arrecife, Astrid Pérez.
This last correction is made based on the documents sent in September of this year 2022, when the Plenary approved sending all the documentation of the transfer of the land to the Government of the Canary Islands so that the regional Administration could carry out approval in the Environmental Assessment.
"Now, after the Government of the Canary Islands required the Arrecife City Council to correct a series of deficiencies in that document sent in September 2022, and all of them have been corrected, the Council is sending the documentation again so that the Environmental Assessment can be approved and the current land use can be changed to sanitary use," they point out from the City Council.
It should be remembered that the land transfer file began in 2020, with the mayoralty of Astrid Pérez, and in October 2021 the Arrecife City Council sent the agreement for the transfer of a plot of 3,835 square meters to the Ministry of Health.
However, in November 2021, the Government of the Canary Islands reported that the environmental assessment agreement had expired, so it proposed that the Council sign a new agreement.
“Since we came to the Government in 2019, we have worked tirelessly to ensure that Argana Alta has a Health Center,” adds the mayor, who also recalls that when she came to the mayor's office, she commissioned the modification of the land.
Once approved, it will be on public display, to register allegations, for 45 days.
“The Argana Alta neighborhood deserves to have a health infrastructure in accordance with the population it has, and very soon they will be able to have this Health Center that will further speed up Primary Care in the capital,” concludes the mayor, Astrid Pérez.
