Tortosa wants a new slaughterhouse, and it is no minor work. The drafting of the executive project and the management of the work already have a budget: more than 125,000 euros. And this is just the beginning.

The city has announced the tender to make a municipal slaughterhouse a reality, which will cost 2.8 million euros, according to sources from the Tortosa City Council. The initiative aims to replace or renovate the current infrastructure.

Details of the executive project and budget

Tender to draft the project

The council has opened a public tender for the drafting of the executive project for the new municipal slaughterhouse. This phase is key because it defines the action plan and technical details before starting the work.

Budget allocated to project management

The amount of more than 125,000 euros covers not only the drafting but also the management of the work. That is, whoever drafts the project will also supervise the construction to ensure it is executed according to plan.

Importance and impact of the new slaughterhouse

Total expected investment

The overall cost of the project amounts to 2.8 million euros. This figure reflects the desire to provide Tortosa with a modern and functional facility that complies with current regulations and sector needs.

Role for the local sector

A new slaughterhouse is not just public works: it affects farmers, merchants, and food safety in the territory. The update may have a direct effect on the quality and competitiveness of local products.

Procedure and expected timelines

Next steps after the tender

Once the drafting is awarded, the development of the technical documents will begin and the work will be prepared for execution. This is a process that may take months but is essential to avoid surprises.

Municipal monitoring and supervision

The Tortosa City Council will have an active role in supervision throughout the construction phase. This ensures that public investment is managed with rigor and transparency.

The reality is that this project sets in motion a key infrastructure for the future of Tortosa’s agri-food sector. But the question is: when will it be finished? The work already has a budget, but there is still a way to go.
