The City Council of Calahorra has extended subsidies for rehabilitating buildings over 50 years old throughout the urban area, removing previous restrictions. The initiative aims to improve energy efficiency, accessibility, and the conservation of historic properties. Owners can apply for these grants for works that help revitalize the city center.
Technical requirements and deadlines for accessing the subsidies 🏗️
The grants cover actions such as thermal insulation, window replacement, elevator installation, and improvement of electrical systems. Buildings must be at least 50 years old and located within the urban area. The amount varies depending on the type of work and the owner's income, with a limit per dwelling. Applications are processed through the municipal registry and require a technical project signed by an architect.
Now it's just up to the neighbors to reach an agreement 🤷
The expansion is good news, except for those who have tried to gather a community of neighbors to change a light bulb. Achieving consensus to rehabilitate an entire building can be more complex than the works themselves. While some want to change the facade, others prefer to invest in an elevator they don't use. We'll see how many applications end up in the drawer of good intentions.
