As a result of joint work between the Municipality of Concordia and the Villa Adela Retirees and Pensioners Center, building improvements were completed that will allow the institution to continue its activities with the neighborhood's senior citizens.
Through the Directorate of Citizen Participation, standard smooth PVC ceiling units, 4 meters long and 10 millimeters thick, were delivered for the repair and conditioning work on the institution's main hall ceiling.
The intervention will improve the building conditions of this space, which constitutes an important meeting and participation point for the area's senior citizens.
The Participatory Budget coordinator, Sebastián Reinafe, and the head of the Department of Senior Citizen Policies, Gladys Portugal, toured the facilities, an opportunity in which they highlighted that “for our senior citizens, retiree centers are much more than a building: they are spaces for meeting, companionship, and participation. That is why it is essential to support these institutions and collaborate so they can have adequate facilities for their activities.”
Likewise, they stated that “from the Municipality, we seek to provide concrete responses to the needs of the institutions of Concordia. The delivery of these materials is a way to support the effort they make daily and to strengthen community spaces through citizen participation.”
These actions are part of the work carried out by the Municipality of Concordia, through the Infrastructure and Development Plan towards the Bicentennial, supporting the city's institutions and promoting the strengthening of spaces for participation, integration, and community gathering.
