€11.2 million approved for 'Re-viu l’Espluga' project

The L'Espluga de Francolí Town Council will receive a provisional subsidy of €11,248,911.82 from the Generalitat de Catalunya to implement the 'Re-viu l’Espluga' programme, part of the Plan de Barris i Viles (Neighbourhoods and Towns Plan). The funding, confirmed on Thursday 12th November 2026, will support an Integral Intervention Memory Programme (PMII) comprising 30 actions focused on physical transformation, ecological transition, and socio-community development. The total estimated investment for the project, which will run from 2027 to 2031, is €12,498,790.91. Around 90% of the cost will be covered by the Generalitat, with the remainder funded locally.

Planned upgrades follow citizen input

The planned actions follow a participatory process held in February and March 2026, during which 500 contributions were collected from residents, community groups, and local organisations. Key initiatives include the redesign of streets and public squares to improve everyday livability, with €1.29 million allocated; the revitalisation of Plaça de l’Església, with €683,793.26; and the rehabilitation of Cal Cabeça as a new municipal building, budgeted at €1.75 million. Additional funds will support housing rehabilitation across the town. This multi-year funding provides a stable financial framework to address urban, residential, environmental, and social challenges identified in municipal planning.

Public session to detail project rollout

The town council will soon host an open information session to present the full scope of the 'Re-viu l’Espluga' project. Residents will be informed about the planned investments, the execution timeline from 2027 to 2031, and the mechanisms for ongoing public participation and monitoring. The date, time, and location will be announced shortly via official municipal channels.

This funding marks a transformative opportunity for our community, allowing us to act decisively on priorities shaped by our residents.
