The Teguise City Council held an event this Tuesday to mark the operational start of the Municipal Technical Office facilities, situated in the premises of the former school in La Villa. The occasion also served to honor Francisco Betancort, who was the chief municipal engineer and a figure closely associated with the council for many years.
The new building, officially named Ingeniero Francisco Betancort following approval by the Teguise City Council Plenary, welcomed family members, former colleagues, and the current municipal staff and corporation to its inauguration.
“"Today we are opening these new municipal facilities, and we do so by remembering a person who left a significant mark on those of us who had the opportunity to work alongside him. Naming this building after Francisco Betancort keeps his memory alive within the City Council itself and recognizes his professional and human trajectory."
“"Francisco Betancort was part of the daily life of this local administration for many years, and this recognition ensures his name remains linked to public service and the municipality of Teguise."
Councilwoman Rita Hernández highlighted that the opening of these facilities provides a dedicated space for the daily work of the Technical Office and for handling matters related to this municipal department. She also extended her recognition to the family of Francisco Betancort and to all those who shared their professional journey with him at the City Council.
With Tuesday's ceremony, the Ingeniero Francisco Betancort building is now officially inaugurated, housing the premises of the Municipal Technical Office of Teguise.
