The City of Cartagena and the business representatives of the Region and the Region have reached an agreement to work together on different projects of vital importance for the productive fabric of the municipality and the area, such as the new General Plan for Urban Planning (PGOU) , the Mediterranean Corridor, the arrival of the AVE, the Zone of Logistic Activities (ZAL) or a few days with the employers of the autonomies and neighboring provinces.
This has been announced by the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, the president of the Regional Confederation of Business Organizations of Murcia (CROEM), José María Albarracín, and the president of the Regional Federation of Business Organizations of Cartagena (COEC), Pedro Pablo Hernández, after the meeting held on Wednesday, a work day that the mayor has assessed as "very positive and very fruitful."
BUSINESS SUPPORT TO THE PGOU TRANSITORY NORMA
With regard to the PGOU, Castejón has commented that they are designing "a series of actions aimed at working hand in hand and trying to be in a position to move forward in the shortest time possible and that Cartagena can have that regulatory framework that will enable development Township".
In this sense the councilor has referred to the transitory rules that are allowing to unblock urban projects that could not get ahead having to go back to the previous PGOU, 1987, which was making it difficult to adapt to the needs of now.
As indicated by the mayor, these transitory rules will be seen next November 27 in the Planning Commission, there will be approved the allegations, and once approved go to the House and will be raised to the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia.
However, the mayor has pointed out that this does not exempt the municipal executive from continuing to move forward in the document of the new PGOU.
"We are going to do it in a way that everyone can continue participating and contributing but we can not continue to lose more time," said Castejón.
The president has been willing to "do it quickly, well, in a rigorous manner and attending to the greatest number of interests."
Understands that this plan must be developed "giving maximum participation to the public and all associations that have to intervene" and that the new PGOU "is that document where the business can feel identified."
Likewise, he has claimed that "when wealth is generated and a vigorous economy" employment is generated and it is "of quality".
The council wants to have "as soon as possible" on the table the regulatory framework that "will help develop urban projects that will have their impact" in the local economy, in the development of the municipality, and that, he said, will be translated in "generate companies, generate jobs and therefore speak of fewer unemployed in the municipality of Cartagena."
INCLUSION OF THE ESCOMBRERAS VALLEY
In the same line, he has dealt with the regulation of the Valley of Escombreras.
For the mayor it is important "that the Regional Government understands that it is necessary" for the economy of the entire Autonomous Community.
"We could not afford the luxury of other companies that want to settle there could not do so for lack of regulation," he explained, while noting that "there is a good willingness on the part of the Regional Government" to include the Valley of Escombreras.
For José María Albarracín, the regulation of the Valley of Escombreras "is something fundamental for the productive fabric and for the region of Campo de Cartagena" and has ensured that in it the Consistory will have all the "collaboration and predisposition" of entrepreneurs " to help and build bridges with the regional administration so that this process is agile and that it is possible to regulate as soon as possible and in the best way "with the objective of" that the companies can establish themselves in this very important area of ​​development for the entire set of the Region, and particularly for Cartagena, and so that these investments continue to generate wealth and employment ".
RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURES
The representatives of the employer's association and the City Council representative have also addressed in the meeting the concern they share about infrastructures such as the Mediterranean Corridor, the ZAL and the AVE.
In this matter, the mayor has proposed to make a "common front" which has made it "very clear" that both in it and in the Consistory the employer will have two allies.
Castejón has asked the central government "facts", which would begin by "reflected in the General State Budget" with "a budget item" that demonstrates the "decisive commitment of the Government of Spain for infrastructure that for Cartagena are vital."
"We can not be a first-class tourist municipality if we do not have the necessary infrastructures," the first councilor pointed out.
BUSINESS DAYS
