The Cádiz Free Trade Zone would like to express its satisfaction with the excellent reception by the Ministry of Finance and its highest representative Cristóbal Montoro to the proposal made a few days ago in Madrid by the President of the Consortium, Teófila Martínez, and the provincial president of the PP, Antonio Sanz for the expansion and expansion of the Cádiz Free Zone to the rest of the province.
It is expected that in the coming months the projects and places where the expansion will take place will be finalized and planned. In fact, the delegate of the Free Trade Zone, Jorge Ramos, has already started working in this regard and has held meetings with the mayors of different municipalities such as Los Barrios and Algeciras. A meeting with the mayor of Jerez, María José García Pelayo, is scheduled for this week, to whom the project will be presented and the different options in choosing the appropriate land will be analyzed.
The Ministry of Finance positively valued the proposal to expand and expand the tax area to other municipalities in Cadiz and committed to 200 million euros over the next five years. This direct investment, to which must be added that which will be generated induced by the application of European funds, will translate into a global investment of several hundred million euros, which will make it possible to carry out the planned actions.
The Cádiz Free Trade Zone plans to expand its extension, going from an area of 300,000 square meters that it currently has to more than 1,300,000 square meters. It will be thanks to the different actions that will be carried out with this investment, a sign of the clear commitment of the Government of the nation to the Southern European Logistics Platform as a State project.
