The Basque Government has approved the second amendment to the agreement reached in 2022 with the local council of the town in Vizcaya, which will enable the renovation of 12 buildings comprising 126 homes.
In addition, the Technical Office for Management and Proximity will be set up to support neighbourhood communities throughout the process.
The Basque Government has approved the second amendment to the agreement of 20 December 2022, which granted a direct subsidy to the Orduña Town Council for urban regeneration and the renovation of buildings in the Landatas and Maria Dolores Madaria neighbourhoods.
The aid, which amounts to a maximum of €2,135,908.13, is part of the Berpiztu programme and aims to promote the Opengela regeneration model, in line with the commitments of the Euskadi Bultzatu 2050 Urban Agenda, which is committed to sustainability, energy efficiency and improved accessibility.
The project includes the renovation of 12 building entrances comprising a total of 126 homes: entrances 1, 3, 5 and 7 on Maria Dolores Madaria Street, entrances 3 and 5 on Gran Vía Street, and entrances 4 and 6 on Paseo de La Antigua. It also includes the creation and launch of the Technical and Local Management Office, which has served as a point of reference to support neighbourhood communities throughout the process.
The neighbourhoods of Landatas and María Dolores Madaria were built in the 1960s and have not undergone any improvements since then. A total of 158 families live there (90 in María Dolores Madaria and 68 in Landatas).
