Ramos also announced the creation of a joint ZF-City Council Commission to study possible actions in the municipality that consolidate its economic development that is generating the expansion of use of the Base
The State delegate in the Free Zone, Jorge Ramos, held a working meeting yesterday morning at the Castillo de la Luna with the mayor of Rota, Eva Corrales, and her Government partner, Lorenzo Sánchez, in which they laid the foundations for the creation in the municipality of a Business Center next to the entrance to the Naval Base.
This action maintains the line of collaboration and institutional loyalty that both administrations have had in recent years and that has seen its fruits with the construction of the 28 nest warehouses of the “Villa de Rota” industrial estate, which is now more than 50% occupied.
Ramos announced that the Business Center, which will be the 15th that the Consortium carries out in the province, will be located on a municipal plot right at the entrance to the Naval Base and will have a constructed area of 6,000 m2 and an investment of more than 4 million euros.
“This is a magnificent opportunity for entrepreneurs and liberal professionals to settle in and begin their journey with very advantageous conditions,” explained Ramos, who also pointed out that Rota is a priority municipality for the Free Trade Zone investment plan in the province, where it is currently the second Administration by investment volume.
Along these lines, he took the opportunity to announce that next week a Joint Joint Commission between both institutions will be created to establish the bases and analyze possible future lines of collaboration that affect the economic consolidation of the municipality, where an important economic awakening is observed generated by the expansion of use of the Base with the new North American personnel assigned to the facility, with industrial and economic development activities that will be put at the service of local businessmen.
The objective is for the conclusions of this Commission to be materialized in an agreement to begin the actions derived from it as soon as possible.
For her part, the mayor of Rota, Eva Corrales, thanked the support and collaboration that Zona Franca has given to Rota in recent years and was convinced that coordination between administrations, with the unconditional support of the Government of Spain, is essential to launch projects that support small and medium-sized entrepreneurs, key to the reactivation of the economy and the generation of employment.
