The Mellieħa local council is pouring nearly €2 million into two projects in Selmun handed over to it by the government: a family park and the restoration of historical buildings.
The park, spread over five tumoli in the Braġ zone, will also include family and sports facilities.
The government is renting out the land at €350 a year for 15 years and the council is investing about €800,000 in the park, which will be completed in the coming weeks. The other project involves the conservation and restoration of a number of historical buildings including wartime pill boxes and a complex of farms that will be transformed into an information centre.
The local council is investing €900,000 in this project and the properties are being rented at €1,200 a year for 15 years.
