Mayor Francisco Azcué and the provincial governor Rogelio Frigerio toured the works being carried out at the local airport and also visited the facilities of the recently inaugurated wholesale supermarket. Both agreed that these are two points that bring productive development, connectivity, and the generation of genuine employment.
Regarding the airport, the mayor of Concordia, Francisco Azcué, stated that it is a more than important infrastructure "because it will allow us to connect with the world, becoming one more tool for productive development, which is one of the axes of our administration," noting that this will allow our city's economy to grow, where tourism will also have a leading role as one of the activities "that we have to diversify the economic matrix of Concordia."
For his part, Governor Rogelio Frigerio stated that "this speaks of the continuity of the State in works that are very important for all the residents of Concordia, because it can greatly change the reality in terms of tourism and the export of goods produced in the region. These are works for the people, which have no political affiliations; what is important here is that it be finished as soon as possible and that Concordia finally has a work that will position it differently at an international level."
WORK PROGRESS
The work shows 77 percent progress and its funds are guaranteed, so it will not stop; it will require an investment of 32 million dollars, financed with a loan from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). It is in charge of the Temporary Union of Companies composed of: L. Pietroboni, Helport, and Sabavisa.
The Comodoro Pierrestegui Airport in the city of Concordia will allow for international passenger and cargo flights. It includes a 2,000-meter-long runway that allows large aircraft, such as the Boeing 737, to land, and enables regional flights, in addition to something very important which is cargo transport, to be able to export the production of regional economies such as blueberries, citrus, or others with similar characteristics. The project provides for the readjustment of the existing runway, including a blast pad and RESA resistant layer; construction of a taxiway and aircraft parking apron; acquisition and installation of daytime and nighttime signaling; improvement of the access road to the airport and construction of the new parking lot; and perimeter road and fence; construction of a new passenger terminal and control tower; equipment; water supply and treatment networks.
GENUINE EMPLOYMENT
After the visit to the airport, Governor Frigerio and Mayor Azcué moved to the premises of the recently inaugurated wholesale supermarket Maxiconsumo.
After touring the place and making contact with the workers and residents who were there at that time, they spoke with Juan Manuel Fera, owner of the firm that settled in Concordia.
"The State will provide services and will be at the disposal of those who invest and generate employment and wealth to grow and solve concrete problems for the people. Both Concordia and Entre Ríos need it, therefore measures will be taken so that there are more and more investments from the private sector that bring genuine employment," they stated.
They were accompanied by the vice-governor of the province, Alicia Aluani; the Minister of Security and Justice, Néstor Roncaglia; and the provincial deputy, Enrique Cresto, among other authorities.
