To further improve the city's infrastructure, Marconi released R$ 18 million to the City Hall, which will be used for urban paving of streets and avenues in the city's neighborhoods.
The governor announced that he is making efforts to build 35 new schools in the cities surrounding the Federal District by the end of next year and signed a service order for the construction of the first ten schools, all of them in the 21st Century Standard model. R$ 42,2 million will be invested in the construction of four schools in Águas Lindas de Goiás, five in Santo Antônio do Descoberto, and one in Padre Bernardo. According to him, 126 state schools in the cities surrounding the Federal District have already been renovated since last year as part of the Nossa Escola program.
Marconi also announced that he will visit 22 cities in Goiás this week alone to deliver the Student Savings Award. He guaranteed that he will illuminate the urban perimeter of BR-070 in Águas Lindas and that the Government of Goiás, through Agetop, is paving the road from Águas Lindas to Brazlândia, facilitating access to Brasília.
