With the goal of raising one million pesos achieved, the project to revamp the local auditorium (Auditorio de la Ribera del Lago) is charging ahead in leaps and bounds.
The focus of the project is to improve the acoustics and replace the aging electrical and air conditioning systems in the 35-year-old building in Ajijic.
Pro Auditorio, the organization championing the renovations, has spent the last two months coming up with blueprint designs for the project.
These had been delayed, says Pro Auditorio leader John Keeling, since their first priority was to raise the necessary cash to ensure matching funds from the state and federal governments (promises that have now been fulfilled, he adds).
“Fortunately, we have now raised slightly more than one million pesos and from the extra we are able to pay for engineers to design the new electrical and air-conditioning systems and the steel work for the infrastructure,” says Keeling.
Chapala city hall has provided the civil design without charge under the supervision of architect Enrique Rivas, director of planning in the Department of Public Works.
