The committee of experts reviews the musealization project for its subsequent submission to the Ministry and face its contracting phase
Before the next elections. That is the term that the current government team has given itself for the start of the construction works of the San Esteban garden and musealization of the Andalusian site. “We wanted to give the project a boost this year after a decade of neglect,” said the mayor, José Antonio Serrano, before the meeting of the expert coordination committee that advises these actions and that was cited this Tuesday for the third time in this legislature. The meeting sought to approve the technical report on the future musealization of the archaeological site.
«After this exhibition, the technical draft will be sent to the Ministry so that it can be attached to the project; With all the documentation, we hope that the specifications will be ready in a period of two months and that the bidding and award process will take another 5 or 6 more”, indicated the deputy mayor, Mario Gómez.
Both once again expressed their concerns about the financing of the project, which has an estimated cost of 20 million to be financed on a tripartite basis: 40% by the central government and two parts of 30% for the regional and municipal administrations. “We have a meeting next week with the Ministry to see if they are going to confirm the contribution of those 6 million, but I am skeptical because at the moment it is silent and has not shown what its will is,” Serrano stressed. However, from the Community they showed THE TRUTH their firm intention to participate in this performance “in which we have always been”.
“If they get off the hook, we will negotiate with the Ministry to find ways of financing and move it forward, since the commitment of the two administrations is firm, although we will try to get more from those who have the most, which is the central government,” added Gómez.
The musealization project contemplates three legs: the first, that of the living site in which the archaeological work and excavations will continue continuously under the direction of the University of Murcia; the second, the small tour of the remains that visitors can take, with groups that will not go beyond 45 people; and finally, the new interpretation building, which will be built to put these findings into context. All this will be inserted in an environment that will be completed with the upper garden area and an adaptation of the surrounding streets that, as LA TRUTH already anticipated, will be pedestrianized.
