Phases One and Three of Pilar de la Horadada’s new Museum, Musical and Performing Arts (CAMME) has been put out to tender at a cost of 4.7 million euro.

The new facility will house a Cultural Centre, costing 3.6 million, and the Semana Santa museum, at a cost of 1 million, with a completion period of 12 and 18 months respectively.

The PSOE warns that the financing of the cultural centre mortgages the municipality until 2036.

The mayor explained that the Council has not been able to put phase two out to tender, the Auditorium and Conservatory buildings, because the urban use of the plot is not compatible with the activity that the council intends to develop.

The current urban classification is urban infrastructure land, which has to be changed to Educational – Cultural land.

The municipal surveyor said that the change of purpose in the process of being processed in the Generalitat Valenciana, “and we are waiting for the favourable reports to arrive”.

The investment for the Auditorium and Conservatory buildings is estimated at a further 5.9 million euros with an execution period of 18 months.
