The beginning of the works could be advanced to the month of March.
The planned investment is around 10 million euros.
The project that will be developed in Lorca will be the only one at a national level to set up judicial offices in the historical center.
The Mayor of Lorca, Fulgencio Gil, has informed that the works for the construction of the seat of the Palace of Justice of our city have already completed their administrative processing, so that the company adjudicating the works has already been determined with whom it will be signed shortly the corresponding contract.
The First Edil has indicated that it is an excellent news for all Lorca, since we are talking about achieving a key historical milestone, which responds to the joint claim of professional groups of justice lorquina and that this Municipal Executive has managed before the different administrations until obtaining the firm commitment of the Government of Spain.
We have achieved a new victory for Lorca and for all Lorca that we can congratulate today.
Fulgencio Gil has stated that the construction of this infrastructure, which has a budget of 10 million euros, is decisive in the project we are developing in our city.
The Lorca are carrying out the battery of investments and improvements more extensive in history, achieving a strong Lorca and that has more and more energy.
We have a municipality project that will enjoy a long journey, whose horizon goes beyond 2025 with serious vocation for the future.
Within this new Lorca the construction of the Palace of Justice is a real milestone.
In this way our subregional capital increases its strength, while the weight of Lorca as head of the county and unquestionable reference in and outside the Region of Murcia, increases thanks to the joint effort of our society.
Fulgencio Gil explained that lifting a new and strong Lorca happens to provide us with the infrastructure that Lorca deserve in all aspects.
We are talking about security (barracks of the Civil Guard, new police station and Integral Security Center), comprehensive renovation of neighborhoods (San José, La Viña, Alfonso X ...), communications (evacuation round, underground passage of Santa Clara, roads with parishes ...), and we also need a space of guarantees for the exercise of legal activity.
The mayor has also anticipated that the City Council has been accelerating the work for the internal processing of the "paperwork" necessary to enable the start of the work is as soon as possible, so that in the coming days will be issued by part of the municipal urban services the corresponding works license, which has required an additional effort on the part of the technicians of the Consistory, counting on the mandatory favorable report of the technicians of the General Direction of Cultural Assets.
In this way, it is foreseen, if there are no unforeseen contingencies, that the works can begin in March, with an execution period of 2 years.
It should be remembered that the execution period for this work, which in principle was to be 4 years, was reduced by half at the request of the Mayor, Fulgencio Gil, a claim that had the understanding and special sensitivity of the Ministry of Justice.
The First Edil has stressed that the new Palace of Justice that we are going to equip ourselves with, which guarantees space for our judicial offices during a period of at least 50 years, constitutes a very particular case within the panorama of this type of infrastructure, since Lorca It is the only city where a unified judicial office is currently being built in the heart of the historic case, including an ambitious task of recovering the monumental heritage, an advantage to which the integral improvement of Selgas Street must be added.
An impulse to give activity to the historic center.
The construction of the Palace of Justice will unify in the same enclave all the services in this regard, putting an end to the dispersion of venues that currently exist.
The reality is that after suffering the serious effects of the earthquakes of 2011, Lorca has managed to raise its monumental heritage from the rubble and ruin.
In parallel we promote the celebration of multiple events in the heart of the historic center, and now, with the materialization of the Palace of Justice, a definitive step is taken in this regard.
It is about getting movement, life and improvement to this area, while satisfying a joint demand of the group of professionals of Justice.
The Mayor, Fulgencio Gil, has transmitted these advances to the group of professionals in the field of justice for the celebration of his employer, San Raimundo de Peñafort.
