TEN WORKERS HIRED BY CASARES COSTA FOR NEW PROJECTS

Casares Costa has hired ten new workers as part of its employment plan. The workers, two labourers, two stonemasons, two people from the over 30’s  programme and four other young people, have been taken on for projects at Casares Costa. Three include the expansion of the Jardines del Rosario, with a new recreation area,  sports facilities and a dog park. Mayor Antonia Morera said that the project will include a mini baseball field and a mini golf area. The Mayor said that progress is continuing on completion of the sports complex at Casares Costa where the paddle tennis facilities are almost finished. The Mayor is also hoping that the bridge over the Manilva river will be completed after work was held up because of a breach of contract by the construction company.
