We note a change of pace in the management of issues relating to the activities of the municipal administration and society sectors. The city is noticing your commitment with great appreciation and, for your part, the care and attention with which you operate emerges. The best thing is to see that you are protagonists of a positive change for the city, in terms of redevelopment and regeneration. Our Administration has always been sensitive to labor issues: the transformation of precarious work into stable work and the creation of new employment opportunities are fundamental for us for growth. It is our commitment to eliminate needs and transmit certainties to citizens, so that living conditions can improve.

The city is appreciating your work and together we can do even more.”

This achievement was made possible thanks to the vision of this Administration, which has always believed in investee companies and invested resources to allow the stabilization of personnel. In particular, 1 million and 300 thousand euros, previously coming from the water tariff, were recovered and established as a fee. This, also thanks to the Metropolitan City, which is becoming a fundamental part of Castore. Today we can guarantee serenity and stability to 32 families. In recent months, we have worked to convey the true meaning of our commitment: to be at the service of citizens. We are the operational arm of the municipal administration.”
