Hidalgo has significantly bolstered its state patrimony by recovering 386 properties, valued at an estimated 1.2 billion pesos.

Hidalgo recovered 386 properties for the state's heritage, with an estimated value of 1.2 billion pesos, and maintains 27 legal proceedings that could result in the recovery of 54 additional properties.

During the administration of Governor Julio Menchaca Salazar, various actions were implemented to reintegrate these 386 properties back into the state's ownership. Many of these buildings had been underutilized or improperly managed. The recovery of these spaces has enabled the establishment of new facilities for state agencies, including offices for the Administrative Justice Tribunal, the House for Adolescents, and the Transition Center, thereby optimizing public funds and governmental infrastructure.

Ángeles further detailed that the 27 ongoing legal cases could result in the recovery of 54 additional properties located across different regions of Hidalgo. He highlighted a substantial increase in the state's real estate value, which rose from 55 billion pesos during the previous administration (2011-2016) to the current 71 billion pesos, marking an increase of nearly 20 percent under the current government. Furthermore, over four thousand maintenance actions have been executed on public properties.

The recovery of these spaces made it possible to establish new facilities for state agencies, such as the offices of the Administrative Justice Tribunal, the House for Adolescents, and the Transition Center, thus optimizing public resources and the use of governmental infrastructure.

He noted that in past administrations, many buildings suffered considerable deterioration due to a lack of maintenance. Priority maintenance work was carried out on key structures, such as the Government Palace, which underwent facade, office, facility, and electrical system rehabilitation. The Cultural Park Hidalguense was also renovated, enabling it to host 800,000 visitors and 500 activities. Additionally, 500 million pesos were allocated for the modernization of the Sports City and Sports Village.
