This project, which is co-financed by FEDER Funds, has a guaranteed return on investment through the commitment to occupy the municipality's Hospitality School.
The works on the building that Zona Franca is going to develop in Vejer are closer to being a reality. The Consortium plans to put out to tender in the coming days the works of the Municipal Business and Services Center for an amount of 2,272,490.47 euros, and with an expected execution period of 11 months.
This important facility for the municipality and the region of La Janda is co-financed by European Funds, within the framework of the FEDER Operational Program of Andalusia 2007-2013.
The future Vejer building, which will sit on a municipal plot of approximately 3,550 m2, will have a constructed area of 2,087.57 m2, which will be distributed in a building with a fragmented composition, with pure, white volumes, in accordance with its location and the architecture of its surroundings. In one of the areas of the building, the Free Trade Zone Business Center will be located on a total of 1,557 m2 and will have 15 offices, classrooms for different uses and a coworking room, in addition to having 300 m2 for commercial premises. On the other hand, the other area of the building, about 529 m2, will be for the Hospitality School and municipal services, a fact that makes it possible for the project to have a guaranteed return on its investment.
It is worth remembering that this project was born from the collaboration between institutions, having signed in August 2012 the delegate of the Cádiz Free Trade Zone, Jorge Ramos, and the mayor of Vejer, José Ortiz, a collaboration agreement to carry out the aforementioned equipment in the municipality, which will offer new spaces for entrepreneurs and liberal professionals in a professional environment and with services that will increase the competitiveness of their businesses.
The project progressed and in July of last year, the building project was awarded to architect Manuel Quijano Vallejo for an amount of 39,700 euros, also with co-financing from FEDER Funds.
With the launch of the works on this Business Center in Vejer, 3 of the Business Centers that Zona Franca promotes in the province are already under development, in Algeciras and Jerez, with the one in Arcos and the one in Chiclana de la Frontera being processed.
