The entity's Assembly has greenlit the budgetary allocation and specific actions to be carried out, aiming to enhance the quality of public services and citizens' lives. The association's president, Félix Romero, highlighted that the plan was processed in a record two months and is designed as a tool for the economic revitalization of the municipalities.
This new Investment Plan is funded by the treasury surplus for general expenses obtained after the settlement of the 2025 General Budget, a result of adhering to the principle of fiscal responsibility. The funds will be allocated to areas such as the integral urban water cycle, solid urban waste management, beaches, urban environment, tourism, and energy efficiency.
The distribution of funds will involve a fixed amount per municipality, with the remainder allocated based on each municipality's participation coefficient in the Association according to current statutes. The 2026 PIM includes the development of various investment projects, encompassing both works and supplies.
Under the works category, projects will be financed including the undergrounding of ecological islands in Benahavís (€292,214.80), the adaptation of the Tourism Office in Casares (€253,690.14), the improvement of athletics stadium changing rooms in Estepona (€286,831.00), the installation of a panoramic elevator in Istán (€194,000.00), the pedestrianization of a parking area in Manilva (€308,476.66), the improvement of sports facilities in Marbella (€1,788,142.46), and the renovation of the sports center roof in Mijas (€885,603.44), totaling €4,008,958.50.
Regarding supplies, vehicles or machinery for public services will be acquired in Benalmádena (€705,897.50 and €44,907.30), Estepona (€558,601.60), Fuengirola (€99,825.00 and €282,355.45), as well as beach equipment in Fuengirola (€413,036.19). Vehicles or machinery will also be purchased in Ojén (€144,232.00 and €43,931.47) and play elements and complementary equipment in Torremolinos (€743,340.93), representing a total of €3,036,127.44.
