The State delegate in the Free Zone, Jorge Ramos, and the mayor of Alcalá de los Gazules, Julio Toscano, signed this morning at the Consortium's Headquarters the collaboration agreement by which the Cádiz Institution will carry out the improvement of the La Palmosa Industrial Park, after the Executive Committee of the Free Zone authorized this action in its last meeting held on March 30.
The Consortium plans to expedite as much as possible the procedures that allow the bidding for the works in the coming days and this week the project will be presented to the Alcalaíno City Council in order to obtain the construction license in the shortest possible time.
The different actions that will be carried out, whose investment amounts to 206,000 euros, are co-financed by funds requested in the ERDF Operational Framework for Andalusia 2007-2013.
The improvement of the La Palmosa Industrial Estate is part of the Free Trade Zone's line of work to reinforce its presence in the province and, in particular, in a privileged area such as Alcalá de los Gazules, which is an important connection route between the Bay of Cádiz and the Bay of Algeciras.
The project contemplates actions aimed at strengthening the urban structure, the improvement of the service infrastructure and a potentiation of the global image, which will result in more attractive spaces, greater business quality and comfort for users.
The works will improve paving, accessibility - with adaptability of pedestrian crossing areas, accessible routes, etc. - as well as a reorganization of the front space which includes parking, rest areas, children's spaces, among others.
The Free Trade Zone of Cádiz already has experience in this type of actions in the Palmones Industrial Estate, in Los Barrios, and in the El Portal Industrial Estate, in Jerez de la Frontera. With this project, the Free Trade Zone continues the line of work in order to serve as an instrument to reactivate the economy, since the improvement in the La Palmosa industrial estate will enhance the facilities, with the aim of contributing to the socioeconomic development of the entire area.
