The Goa State Urban Development Authority (GSUDA) has announced a fresh redevelopment plan for Margao’s 118‑year‑old municipal building, aiming to modernise the heritage structure.
The Goa State Urban Development Authority (GSUDA) announced that it will undertake a fresh redevelopment of the municipal building in Margao, a structure that has stood for 118 years. The building, a visible reminder of the city’s colonial past, currently houses the local civic administration.
GSUDA said the project will concentrate on strengthening the building’s core, restoring its historic façade and upgrading interior spaces to meet modern standards for public services. The plan seeks to preserve the heritage value while providing a safer, more functional environment for municipal work.
Officials expect the upgraded facility to improve service delivery and boost civic pride among residents. While a detailed timeline and budget have not been disclosed, the initiative aligns with Goa’s broader effort to modernise ageing public infrastructure without eroding cultural identity.
