The State budgets include a budget of 33 million for the Free Zone

Last week, the Government of Spain detailed the State's investments for the province of Cádiz. This breakdown reveals a budget item for the Cádiz Free Zone Consortium of 33 million euros, an amount that will be allocated to investments that will promote the business and productive fabric of the province. The State delegate in the Cádiz Free Trade Zone Consortium, Jorge Ramos, has welcomed these accounts that, “in the current context of austerity, are an important boost to carry out infrastructure and equipment that favors socioeconomic development both of Cádiz as well as numerous municipalities in the province that rely on the Free Trade Zone for their business and industrial expansion.”

In this sense, Ramos highlights that the city of Cádiz will be the main focus/nucleus to develop these accounts and that “the Carranza stadium, with the completion of the Grandstand, and the reorganization of the Outdoor Enclosure will be the main projects that will be carried out.” during 2012.”

“It is evident that Cádiz, due to its history and seafaring vocation, is the epicenter of the Consortium's actions and will continue to be so this year. In fact, the service building and relocation warehouses, which are being built in the Interior Precinct and will be inaugurated in a few months, are a reflection of Zona Franca's commitment to the future exterior industrial estate,” Ramos explained. However, the delegate remembers that the Free Trade Zone is also and will continue to be very present in the province, which is demonstrated by the actions planned in municipalities such as Jerez, Algeciras, Rota, Puerto Real, Chiclana, Tarifa, Benaocaz and Ubrique.De In fact, the delegate has already maintained contacts with all the mayors of these municipalities and the foundations for the different projects of the Consortium have already been laid in all of them.

Thus, in Algeciras, Jerez and Chiclana Zona Franca will build business buildings similar to the buildings that it has already launched in Cádiz, Puerto de Santa María and Algeciras and which have been very well received as business centers and support for entrepreneurs. For its part, in Rota, Tarifa (Tahivilla) and Benaocaz and Ubrique, the Consortium will undertake warehouses in the different industrial estates of these municipalities.
