In order to continue reducing social backwardness, promoting social cohesion and strengthening harmonious coexistence in the police stations, Mayor Renán Barrera Concha is working on the creation and rehabilitation of public spaces for the enjoyment of families.
At the inauguration of the park in the Dzibilchaltún precinct, the Mayor toured this new space that included the installation of playground equipment, exercise equipment, benches and green areas, designed to promote healthy habits and family recreation areas.
Accompanied by Juan De Dios Tzuc Coot, Commissioner of Dzibilchaltún, and Deputy Víctor Hugo Lozano Poveda, President of the Board of Government and Political Coordination of the LXIII Legislature of the H. Congress of the State of Yucatán, he inaugurated this park located at 20445 x 20 19 tablaje street, where one million 849,600.31 pesos were invested from Ramo 33.
“In this park in particular, almost 2 million pesos are being invested in addition to an amount of 4 million pesos previously invested in the precinct; in other words, we have invested almost 6 million pesos in works and infrastructure to enhance the attractions of the tourist zone in the precinct of Dzibilchaltún,” he stated.
He added that, to date, three Ramo 33 prioritizations have been approved, with an investment of 288 million 841 thousand pesos, of which 128 million have been allocated to the police stations.
