Last Monday, the delegate of the Cádiz Free Trade Zone, Jorge Ramos, received representatives of the Provincial Council and the Benaocaz City Council at the headquarters of the Consortium in what was the first meeting of a round of meetings to unlock the polygon works Sale Martin, located in the municipality of Sierra Cádiz.
In addition to the delegate, the Chief of Staff, Tania Barcelona, attended on behalf of the Free Trade Zone; the general director, Félix Taboada; the director of Infrastructure, Jesús Martínez; and the person in charge of Projects and Operations, Javier Gutiérrez. Representing the Provincial Institution was the second vice president of the Provincial Council, Bernardo Villar; the director of the Municipal Cooperation, Infrastructure and Environment Area, Auxiliadora Caballero; and the deputy director of the aforementioned area, Francisco Javier Rodríguez Para. On behalf of the Benaocaz City Council, the mayor, Juan María Mangana, attended; the Councilor for Urban Planning, Manuel Corral and the Urban Planning technician, Rocío Macías.
The meeting, which lasted for an hour and a half, revolved around establishing the necessary procedures to reactivate the works at the Venta Martín industrial estate, which had been paralyzed for some time. To this end, the proposal of the Free Trade Zone delegate to establish a work schedule to unblock the urban processing of the industrial estate was welcomed, as well as to close meetings with small owners, obtain financing for the connection of roads, process the publications of the urban planning and, finally, advance in the future management agreement that allows Zona Franca to lead the urbanization process of said industrial estate.
At the end of the meeting, Jorge Ramos thanked all parties for their willingness to collaborate in the project, which he considered a priority since its implementation will mean the revitalization of the productive fabric not only in Benaocaz and Ubrique – towns surrounding the facilities. - but of the entire region of the Sierra Cádiz.
Last Monday's meeting corroborates Zona Franca's interest in maintaining and increasing its presence in the Sierra de Cádiz, a strategic region with an entrepreneurial business network that requires modern infrastructure that makes it more competitive.
