The Consortium proceeds to contract the work to carry out the Archaeological Control of earth movements during the execution of the work, as indicated by the Autonomous Administration
This requirement is the previous step to the start of the works that will be tendered in the coming dates.
The investment in the works of the Tiro Janer Commercial and Business Park in San Fernando will exceed six million euros
The Ministry of Culture has sent a letter this week to the Cádiz Free Trade Zone giving the green light to the precautionary measures on the Tiro Janer industrial estate, requested on May 10 by the Consortium in order to open the procedure that will allow the bidding for the urbanization works that make up the future Commercial and Business Park to begin.
With the approval of Culture, the Consortium proceeds to contract the archaeological control of earth movements during the execution of works that require removal of the land, as required by the Ministry in a report sent to the Free Trade Zone at the end of 2015.
Thus, Zona Franca completes the administrative procedures prior to opening the procedure to tender the urbanization works, so they could be completed before the end of the year.
It should be remembered that the Free Trade Zone has already completed the archaeological work on the plot, which concluded with the recovery and transfer of the archaeological remains found to the Consortium, in provisional storage awaiting a more suitable place for their exhibition. Specifically, the cataloged remains correspond to eight ovens, three groups of amphorae and up to 45 burials, initially dated between the 1st and 3rd centuries BC.
The development of the Tiro Janer Commercial and Business Park represents an investment of 6.2 million euros, of which some 600,000 euros correspond to the archaeological intervention that has been carried out, while the urbanization works themselves will have a cost of 4.2 million euros and the rest, 1.4 million, will be reserved to meet the cost of the electrical demand expected with the entry into operation of the future commercial and business park, which will also be supplied of the electrical substation planned there (it will make use of 8 of the 28 megawatts of capacity that the new facilities will have, according to Zona Franca calculations). The park will have a maximum construction of approximately 60,000 m2, for which contacts have already been made with companies interested in settling in this strategic enclave.
Zona Franca purchased the old Janer Shooting Range from the Ministry of Defense in 2013 and since then the Consortium has carried out intense work that began with the demolition of the old facilities. Subsequently, the important archaeological findings and the meticulous work by the experts led to the process slowing down.
