The President of the Provincial Diputación (Council) of Almería, Gabriel Amat and Vice President, Javier Aureliano, visited Mojácar to present to the Mayor, Rosmari Cano and the Municipal Corporation, the project being drafted by provincial technicians for the construction of a new Town Hall and Police Station along with the remodelling of the Plaza Nueva which is located on top of the building. For Rosmari Cano, the works represent a big step forward in the great efforts being made by the Town Council to improve services to citizens and tourists. Efforts which also involve the President of the Provincial Council, as it includes an investment of more than two million Euros. The Mayor thanked the Provincial Council technicians for their collaboration in the process of drafting the project that will be very important for the future of the town.
The main aim is to concentrate municipal services, which are currently scattered around the old town, and improve the Mirador (viewpoint) of the Plaza Nueva that Gabriel Amat describes as, "the busiest Mirador, not only of the town but of the region". There is an existing building beneath the Mirador dating back to the 70s, in need of so many repairs, that technicians have advised demolition. It is planned to replace it with a new building of equal size and the same number of stories as before, which will also incorporate a new Mirador on its roof. The work is planned in two distinct phases. The first step will be the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new structure that will support the new Plaza Nueva Mirador. Then, the inside of the building will be completed and the Town Hall will move in. The Police, who currently occupy a building with
accessibility issues situated in the narrow pedestrian streets of the historic old town, will also be housed in the new building.
The new Plaza Nueva and Mirador will be fully accessible to those with mobility issues thanks to new stairs, ramps and access via a lift inside the new Town Hall, which will link the Avenida Paris to the square. In total, the building will have an area of 684 square metres. The Provincial President stressed that this project will provide a boost to Mojácar, making this tourist town a more accessible destination for people with reduced mobility.
