An Emblematic Challenge
Casino Menestral de Figueres, an emblematic building with a rich and complex history, is about to see the light at the end of the tunnel after years of interrupted works.
The Municipal Government and the Casino Board have shown that they are in tune, working together to find solutions to this crucial issue.
A Shared Commitment
The return of mayor Jordi Masquef to the mayor’s office of Figueres last year has marked a new impetus in the resolution of this issue, highlighting its importance for the revitalization of the urban center.
All the parties involved recognize the complexity of the road to unblocking the works at Casino Menestral Figuerenc, but there is a clear commitment to reach a satisfactory solution for everyone.
Positive Gestures
The recent gestures of the Municipal Government have been welcomed positively by the Casino Board, highlighting a budget item of 600,000 euros for the continuation of the rehabilitation works.
On the other hand, the Casino has also shown commitment in finding a solution with the approval of the transfer of the building to the City Council.
Historical Perspective
Work on this iconic building began over two decades ago, with several interruptions mainly caused by funding issues.
After several attempts to resume the works, the public administrations have shown a renewed commitment to find a definitive solution for this important architectural heritage.
A Path to the Light
The managers of Casino Menestral express optimism, seeing a clear direction towards the resolution of this issue, with a will shared between the two parties.
The reopening of the Casino cafeteria has been a positive step, providing an additional source of funding for the entity.
Despite the progress, there are still outstanding issues, such as the possible declaration of Cultural Property of National Interest, which could facilitate the arrival of additional funds to complete the works.
