The Department of Urban Planning of the Tías City Council has already received the request for four urban licenses to launch the integral renovation of accommodation complexes, within the framework of the Modernization Plan of Puerto del Carmen. For the moment, permits have already been requested to rehabilitate the Don Paco Castilla, Club Ízaro and Balcón del Mar complexes, which will have a category of four-star hotels. The fourth license corresponds to an action in the Villas Las Alondras complex.
From the Tías City Council they have explained that they already have the green light to grant urban licenses, which will attract "90 million euros in private investment", linked to the rehabilitation, creation of new shopping centers, and the improvement of theme parks, leisure and sports areas. The Government of the Canary Islands published on January 16 in the Official Gazette of the Canary Islands the approval of the second Modernization Plan of Puerto del Carmen.
The City Council considers that this plan "will mean a boost and an economic driver" for Lanzarote. In this sense, public interventions will be carried out in boulevards, connection routes, a free space with thalassotherapy and an interpretation center of the Salinas de Matagorda, among others, in the tourist town.
As for private actions, apartments, tourist complexes and hotels will be renovated and rehabilitated. Likewise, there will be interventions in the Costa Mar shopping center and in the San Antonio hotel's water treatment plant, as well as actions in the Fariones Sports Center, among others. Rancho Texas will also undertake this intervention, within the Modernization Plan.
The mayor of Tías, Pancho Hernández, is confident that this plan will "greatly help the relaunch of the economy of all Lanzarote and the creation of new jobs in key sectors such as construction, tourism or services." The Department of Urban Planning of the Tías City Council, "with technicians dedicated entirely to the agility towards these investment projects", according to the Consistory, plans to grant the corresponding licenses in the coming weeks.
