Mayor Francisco Azcué, together with provincial officials, officials from neighboring cities, and members of the private sector related to tourism, toured the construction work being carried out at the “Comodoro Pierrestegui” Airport this Tuesday, which he described as being of utmost importance for the development of the entire region.
The visit took place within the framework of the Development and Integration Program of the Salto Grande region and was attended by Gustavo Cusinato, coordinator of the Provincial Executing Unit (UEP); Jorge Satto, Provincial Secretary of Tourism; provincial deputies Marcelo López and Carola Laner; the mayor of Federación, Ricardo Bravo; delegates from the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB); representatives of municipalities in the region; tourism entrepreneurs and intermediate organizations.
“This is a very important project for Concordia and the region, which is why we are touring it today, seeing the progress that has been made and the expectations it has generated, because this will allow us to continue with development, not only in tourism but also in production, which will connect us with the world. All actors are important here, which is why we are accompanied by the private sector, entrepreneurs, and intermediate institutions,” began Mayor Azcué.
After indicating that the work is expected to be completed by the end of the year thanks to joint work with the Provincial Government, the Inter-American Development Bank, and other organizations, Azcué highlighted “the enthusiasm that exists in many sectors for this airport, and it is because it has been understood that this is a project of relevance, which began in the previous administration and which we will see completed in a short time.”
A TOOL FOR DEVELOPMENT
Gustavo Cusinato, coordinator of the Provincial Executing Unit (UEP), first highlighted the coordinated work being carried out “with permanent support on all issues that need to be resolved. It is a project that would be finishing its first stage in December,” adding that later, until 2025, actions will continue for the development of different productive and tourism activities, among others.
“There is a commitment from the whole of society here; it is not just a matter for the State, but it is a tool that will serve the private sector, both in the productive and tourism sectors of the entire Salto Grande region and other places in the province, which is why there is satisfaction in being able to work jointly with the Municipality of Concordia from the UEP with financing from the IDB,” emphasized Cusinato.
A BEFORE AND AN AFTER
Finally, the Provincial Secretary of Tourism, Jorge Satto, stated that the new Concordia Airport “marks a before and an after. From our area, we participate in different national forums with the Federal Tourism Council, and we see that the issue of connectivity is always central, and Entre Ríos, due to its geographical position, is very benefited. With this project, we begin to play a different game.”
After indicating that the benefits will be multiple for the region, Satto indicated that “we understand that now we must work on quality and service provision. There are many challenges ahead of us, but everything is aligned and there are many people willing to collaborate.”
Accompanying from the Municipality of Concordia were Vice Mayor Magdalena Reta de Urquiza; Chief of Staff Eduardo Caminal; Secretary of Productive Development Federico Schattenhofer; Undersecretary of Tourism Laureano Schvartzman, and council members.
