The city of Meknes on Monday witnessed the inauguration and launch of a number of important development projects on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of His Majesty King Mohammed VI’s accession to the throne.
These projects reflect the Kingdom’s commitment to improving the quality of life of citizens by focusing on vital sectors including health, social sphere, sports and solidarity economy in the sports sector, with the inauguration of the gymnastics hall expansion project at the 20 August Sports Complex in Meknes.
The project, funded by the National Initiative for Human Development and the Meknes Community, aims to strengthen the city’s sports infrastructure. The project includes the rehabilitation of the existing hall with an area of 486 square meters, its expansion with a 153 square meter metal structure, and the creation of an administrative and service space with an area of 180 square meters.
The project, which cost around Dh3.43 million, is expected to take eight months to implement and will provide a modern and suitable space for the practice of gymnastics and related sports, as well as health and basic facilities.
