The Governing Council of the Municipal Sports Institute (IMD) has approved in an extraordinary session allocating 915,000 euros for the execution of the project to change the lighting to LED in the El Sardinero Sport Fields.
As reported by the City Council in a statement, the transfer to this Administration of the amount of execution of the project is proposed due to the ownership of the El Sardinero Sport Fields, not assigned within the IMD facilities.
