Both officials toured the downtown area and inspected the ongoing work on facades along Hidalgo Avenue, at the Ciudadela del Arte (Citadel of Art), and at the former San Agustín Church.
At the official launch, Secretary General of the Government Rodrigo Reyes Mugüerza announced that, at the direction of Governor David Monreal Ávila, 428 facades will be rehabilitated and preserved.
The goal, explained the official responsible for internal affairs, is to conserve and improve the urban landscape of the capital city.
