In the absence of bidders, the procedure must be repeated. The tender to build the High Performance Sports Center fell The tender for the construction of the Tafí del Valle Altitude Development and Training Center fell because no company presented proposals to take charge of the work. Thus, in the absence of bidders, the process must be repeated, although with updated amounts in the specifications. As reported, the idea is to repeat the opening of envelopes in a month, since the objective is to start work this year. Seven years of promises The concept of the Tafí del Valle Altitude Training Center originated in 2016 and has gained momentum since then. In February 2021, the Minister of Government and Justice of the Province, Carolina Vargas Aignasse, confirmed that the Ministry of Tourism and Sports of the Nation had committed to financing the project. This commitment was ratified in May 2022 by the Minister of Tourism and Sports, Matías Lammens. The project, which will require an investment of more than US$4.4 million, will be part of the Federal Sports Infrastructure Program, supported by a total investment of US$30 million from Fonplata – Development Bank. Proposed facilities for the center include a heated swimming pool, a six-lane running track approved for various athletic disciplines, and a rowing and canoeing track with a boat nursery, repair shop, and fitness area. «The first phase will be carried out at the La Angostura dam for the rowing and canoeing disciplines, with an investment of US$ 1.7 million. The main phase (on the high-performance center) will begin once the first stage is underway,” Vargas Aignasse said in March. Tafí del Valle is a preferred place for high performance athletes for their training due to its unique characteristics. The Argentine canoeing team trains there annually, and they have also trained Olympic athletes such as Belén Casetta (athletics) and Agustín Destribats (wrestling).
