From olive press to student digs By TPN/Lusa, in Business, Alentejo · 02-07-2021 01:00:00 · 0 Comments
An old olive press situated in the historic centre of Elvas (Portalegre) will be transformed into a residence to host 81 students, representing an investment of €4 million.
The signing of the contract for the adaptation of the former Lagar dos Lopes to a student residence took place in Elvas, and the work has a deadline of 24 months.
“It is an investment of €4 million, financed 50 percent by community funds”, said the Mayor, Nuno Mocinha, to the Lusa agency.
According to the mayor, “the work should have already started” at the end of last year or the beginning of this year, “but the delay was due to needing to wait for approval from the Court of Auditors”.
