The construction of the “largest multipurpose pavilion” in the Viana do Castelo district, with a private investment of eight million euros, will proceed “immediately” and should be completed in two years, it was announced today.

The new space, scheduled to be completed in two years, will have the capacity to accommodate 2,600 seated or 5,500 standing spectators.
“The CET and the public park materialize an investment of eight million euros, which will be executed immediately. Once the infrastructure is built, the municipality of Caminha will lease it for 25 thousand euros per month, for 25 years. The municipality can choose to lease or sublet or directly explore the complex, totally or partially, ”the municipality explains in a statement sent to the press today.
The “promising lease agreement makes the investment feasible, but it will only be final after the construction of the work”, being that “the maintenance of the complex is the responsibility of the private investor, but the municipality of Caminha reserves the option to purchase the infrastructure “.
According to the Chamber chaired today by the socialist Miguel Alves, that promising lease was approved, on Friday night, at a meeting of the Municipal Assembly, by a “great majority.”
“The draft of the promissory lease contract for non-housing purposes of the future CET was approved by 22 members of the assembly and registered five votes against and eight abstentions,” the note specifies.

On Monday, the three councilors of the PSD in the Chamber of the socialist majority, rejected that contract for “not defending the interests of Caminha and having the objective of escaping the visa of the Court of Accounts.”
“This lease is made for the benefit of an individual (…). It does not seem reasonable to us to be in such a hurry, on the knee and without any economic feasibility study, to make a promising lease that will mortgage the municipality of Caminha for many years ”, they defend in the note.
