Cort will allocate 100,000 euros to adapt a new press room

The Palma City Council will invest approximately €104,000 in creating a new press room in a disused space within the City Hall building. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor and Councillor for Urban Planning, Óscar Fidalgo, at a press conference following a meeting of the Historic Centre Commission and the Urban Planning Department. The space has a usable area of over 140 m² and two entrances. The project envisions the creation of a modern, functional, and fully accessible space to improve working conditions for the media and optimize the City Council's communication efforts.

During the Commission meeting, a proposal was also presented for the restoration of the ground floor façade of the building housing the Ca'n Frasquet establishment, with the aim of returning it to its original state. Additionally, a proposal to establish a social project at the Convent of the Conception was discussed, at the request of a pastoral association that has been working for years on support and reintegration programs in Palma. The project envisions separating the accommodation service by user profiles and creating distinct spaces to improve their care. Furthermore, it plans to integrate the outpatient service, which currently operates in a separate location, without interfering with the nuns' daily routine. The Commission also addressed the project to repair part of the cornice and consolidate the roof elements of the Church of Sant Nicolau, as well as various changes of use for commercial premises to residential properties on different streets in Palma.

Changes of use of premises in dwellings

Within the framework of the Urban Planning Department, licenses have been granted for changes of use of commercial premises to affordable housing in Son Serra-la Vileta and Plaça dels Patins. In both cases, these are renovation and expansion licenses.
