Videos on the Zorrotzaurre Project: renovation of existing housing

The Zorrotzaurre Project has, from the very beginning, facilitated the renovation of existing housing in the area; this is the subject of a new video produced by the Contracting Board in the series of videos on the project.

Since 2009, residents have had non-refundable grants available from the City Council and the Contracting Board. The Basque Government has also made its own line of aid available. Over 6 million euros have been granted for the renovation of almost all the residential buildings in Zorrotzaurre.

The renovations have been significant as many homes are over 100 years old and maintenance has been neglected for decades. The foundations have been strengthened in some cases, thermal insulation and other energy saving measures have been added and accessibility has been improved with the installation of lifts.
