Celaya urgently needs a new hospital
CELAYA, Gto .- During a recent tour through the state of Guanajuato, governor Miguel Márquez Márquez supervised various projects, and insisted on the Federal Government to build a new Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS) hospital.
The announcement of a 50 million pesos (2.5 million USD) for the construction of these facilities was expected last year, and now the Governor declared that is absolutely urgent to start building this hospital in order to provide better health services and also to boost the creation of jobs in the whole region.
“The need of a new hospital prevails in our state, this project is urgent specially now, when the automotive enterprise Toyota is just about to open a new plant here, so this cannot be postponed, and then I’m expecting to hear good news from the Social Security authorities as soon as possible”, declared Miguel Márquez Márquez.
On the year 2016, the municipal government acquired an extended territorial reserve in response of a request made by IMSS, so they allocated five million pesos for the urbanization of the area.

Guanajuato’s sport projects
On the other hand, the Governor of Guanajuato announced a significative investment on Sport-projects, leaving around 40 million pesos (1.9 million USD) to build a Sports Center in the south of the city, along with a semi-Olympic pool, taking into consideration that many athletes in this municipality are pretty good at this discipline.
