Overview
- A newly approved PXOM sets targets for 51,400 homes, including more than 14,000 protected, and launches a municipal housing company with initial projects such as over 200 subsidized units in Santa Cristina.
- The city passed a €426 million budget funded by its own resources, with the administration reiterating zero debt since 2012, the lowest local tax pressure in Galicia and supplier payments in four to six days.
- Urban upgrades moved forward through Vigo Vertical works, steps to humanize the AP-9 and the start of Barrio do Cura, while state-backed rail and road commitments—including the Cerdedo AVE, a southern high-speed link to Portugal and a €400 million tunnel to O Porriño—remain without final designs or secured lines.
- Industrial plans highlighted by the mayor include a proposed photonic microchip plant in the Zona Franca and expansion by firms such as Indra and Conxemar, with PERTE funding cited as a driver.
- Caballero credited tourism and municipal projects for record employment and an 80% average hotel occupancy, while the local PP argued that many promises lack execution and that key housing initiatives are not yet close to construction.
