Together with the integral modernization project of the Waste Management Center of Barranco Hondo, which entails an investment of 2.25 million euros, it constitutes a strategic project that Lorca will benefit from for decades.
The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has reported that the City Council, through its municipal cleaning company (Limusa), has awarded a Lorca company the construction of its new logistics base.
This is a project that has been working over the last few years with the aim of providing Limusa with modern, versatile facilities close to the urban center, which will allow a faster, more economical and efficient response to the cleaning demands that our municipality presents.
The First Edil has indicated that this work, which was attended by a total of 9 companies, started with a bid base budget estimated at € 2,163,568.95, which has been reduced to € 1,909,350.

It is a strategic project which will be financed entirely with Limusa's own resources.
It will suppose a remarkable saving to the municipal coffers and will count on buildings that will lodge offices, mechanical workshop, center of washing and clothes for personnel.
All the companies that decided to participate in the process were able to present their offers through the Limusa contracting profile, where they had all the information, which was also available on the public sector contracting platform.
This new equipment will allow Lorca to have a much more modern, operational and functional service infrastructure, characteristics that are underlined by their closest location and well connected to the urban center, which allows a capacity to respond to any type of eventuality much faster and more effective, while significantly reducing the effort of moving machinery that is suffered so far.
The new facility for installation of operational base and logistics of Limusa, will have the following buildings and equipment:
- Building for offices administration, meeting room-dining room, changing rooms, workshop, warehouses and laundry vehicles.

More than 1,800 m2 of planters will be located, both in the entire perimeter of the enclosure and in the interior of the plot, with irrigation from the recovery of water from the municipal swimming pools of the Felipe VI complex, the different planters will have a wooded plantation and shrubs (cypresses, oleanders, rosemary, Abelina, Lantana, etc ...) that form a pleasant and quiet environment.
