“When we took office it was abandoned, today we can generate 30 tons per hour,” stated the mayor of Concordia.
On Friday morning, Mayor Francisco Azcué put the municipal asphalt plant into operation, which will allow not only for responding to the demands and street repairs of the city but also for a significant reduction in municipal resource expenditures.
“This was a plant that when we took office was abandoned, in terrible conditions, generating a decline in this place,” the mayor of Concordia began by remarking, adding that after the first months of administration “we dedicated ourselves to organizing and investing, and today we have the plant running, generating 30 tons of asphalt per hour.”
In that sense, he stressed that on one hand, this will allow for faster progress with the pothole repair and street maintenance plan, and on the other, a significant reduction in municipal resources since it will not have to be outsourced. “The work will be done with municipal resources, without having to buy from companies, which meant a higher cost.”
“This is the result of planning, which are things that take time, and for those who say that the administration has not started, here are the results; 100 days after having started the administration, the plant is running,” affirmed Azcué.
For his part, the Secretary of Urban Development, Osvaldo Pérez Hatoum, stated that with the plant up and running and its asphalt production capacity, “we will be able to supply and provide answers to the entire city. We are carrying out a pothole repair plan that is executed while taking care of municipal resources.”
Oscar Ramírez, Undersecretary of Public Services, highlighted that “when the mayor took office, one of the priorities was to put this plant into operation, and there is a lot of merit here from the municipal employees who understood what was intended to be done, and thanks to them, today the plant is running.”
Finally, Bruno Gaztambide, Director of Road Works and Maintenance, explained that to reach this moment, it was necessary to acquire the supplies ranging from the oiling and greasing of the bearings to the replacement of the hot asphalt belt, in addition to repairing and improving the entire electrical system. “It is a plant that has the capacity to respond to the pothole repair plan that the Municipality is carrying out in the city.”
Present were Chief of Cabinet Eduardo Caminal; council members Felipe Sastre, Eliana Lagraña, Celeste Fuscado, and Silvina Ovelar.
