“This is an important moment for the Palmi community, but in general for the metropolitan city – said the mayor Giuseppe Falcomatà – I believe that in recent years the most important work we have put in place was precisely to activate actions that could bring out and give birth to a metropolitan feeling that was not there before. We wanted to perceive the difference between the provincial body and the metropolitan body through political actions and choices, also through moments like this. This is an investment of almost 5 million euros that the Metropolitan City has activated through PNRR funds that arise from the Pui from a choice from the community. This means that it is necessary to trust the choices of the municipalities, of the metropolitan cities, as unlike other levels of government, local authorities use them, as in the case of the PNRR where we are 89% of progress of the works. Our body – recalled Falcomatà – is also proceeding with commitment and seriousness in other metropolitan areas, I remember Cinquefrondi, Gioia Tauro, we are doing it for the Locri and Siderno promenade, as well as for Palmi. It is the demonstration of how much things, in our latitudes, can only be done if you work in institutional synergy. Nobody can think of excluding an entity when it comes to operating political choices that can grow the territory. The Municipality of Palmi and the Metropolitan City – he highlighted – have activated resources put in place with the PNRR, giving confidence, transformed into concrete events, such as this urban redevelopment work of the tonnara di Palmi promenade, among the most suggestive places of our territory “.” Nice that the presentation was carried out on the spot – concluded Falcomatà – together with many citizens who have been able to assist directly “.
For the mayor of Palmi and metropolitan councilor delegated to the budget Giuseppe Ranuccio “the choice to present the project here to the tonnara, with the residents, is obviously desired. There has been a listening process, of sharing that led us to the editorial staff of this project, of which we are really very proud. The investment of over 4 million euros will allow us to carry out this first intervention, which will start from the rock of the olive tree, we will reach the stone. Continue the whole intervention to Ciambra. Really a great project – concluded Ranuccio – that will improve the quality of life, even residents “.
