The agreement signed this Thursday by the mayor of Yaiza, Óscar Noda, and the director of the Canary Housing Institute, María Isabel Santana Marrero, means that the body dependent on the Government of the Canary Islands accepts the free transfer by the City Council of a plot of 42,253 square meters in the Montaña Roja partial plan in order to include it in the "Aid Program for the construction of social rental housing in energy-efficient buildings" on land of public ownership, reports the Council.
Yaiza thus secures the first "126 homes for social rental or affordable prices" after the City Council managed "the application for the construction of homes before the Government of the Canary Islands and confirmed the authorization for the transfer of land through a plenary agreement on March 11, 2022," he comments.
The City Council first incorporated "the plot into the municipal inventory and then approved the free transfer of the land to give it the final approval in the Plenary," he confirms. Since May 2021, the transfer had been made, although at the request of the Government, Yaiza was correcting technical and legal extremes that, once overcome, lead to the formalization of the transfer and definitive acceptance, he confirms.
The local Administration now expects the Government to draft the design and construction project and the public tender for its execution, he concludes.
