Fira de Lleida has approved the change in general management and keeps a relocation to the old Hípica on the table, valued at one hundred million euros. The change comes as the venue and the Parc Agrobiotech seek to consolidate their role in the local economy of Lleida.
The tension is that the new institutional impetus coexists with a project that will have to withstand more than one change of government before seeing a first pavilion by 2030.
