Mayor Francisco Azcué toured the Concordia Industrial Park this Tuesday, a sector that in this nearly year and a half of administration has been creating the infrastructure conditions for the city's productive growth.
Accompanied by the Secretary of Cabinet Coordination and Treasury Pablo Ferreyra and the president of the Mixed Entity for the Administration of the Industrial Park (EMAPI) Luis Kolarik, he visited the company CRAFI Forestal.
“It is customary for us to participate in the Park's Board meetings as well as to see the work carried out by the administration and the established companies, which allows us to observe growth and development in several aspects, creating the conditions that the private sector needs to invest,” noted Azcué.
Continuing along those lines, the Mayor maintained that when talking with those who bet on the city's progress, “we see great enthusiasm given that we have enormous potential to continue growing and as a State, we have the commitment to continue generating public policies so that the objectives are reached.”
In that framework, he listed the tax reform that has been carried out since 2024 with the elimination of more than 300 municipal taxes, the cap on public lighting that mainly benefits SMEs, and the permanent interaction with institutions.
“We are clear that the private sector is the engine of development because they are the ones who take risks, invest, and generate genuine employment. We are facilitators so that more residents of Concordia and companies from outside choose us. The Industrial Park is a great tool, as are the project for the creation of the logistics activities zone and the barge port in Benito Legerén, to which we must add the southern access work that has been resumed thanks to the support of Governor Rogelio Frigerio,” concluded Azcué.
STRATEGIC LOCATION
For his part, Kolarik indicated that during this time at the head of EMAPI, “work has been done to put everything related to the provision of services in condition, with expectations set on the local, provincial, or national business world becoming interested in our park.”
Being on the side of Highway 14, “positions us in a strategic site, very close to countries like Brazil, Paraguay, or Uruguay, with very good communication routes,” therefore, and as the projects are being concretized, “we are convinced that this place is in a position to receive more and new investments that will allow expanding the industrial territory of Concordia and the province.”
VISIT TO CRAFI FORESTAL
CRAFI Forestal has been based in the Industrial Park since 1997, manufacturing products that reach markets in different parts of Entre Ríos, Santa Fe, Córdoba, Buenos Aires, and Salta.
There, Mayor Azcué was received by Mónica Morelli, a member of the company's Board of Directors, and Eng. Graciela Sosa, Technical Director of the sawmill, who thanked him for the visit “for coming to listen, receive concerns, and work together, which is what we need to move forward.”
The remanufactured products it offers are: tongue-and-groove boards, decking, strapping, planed boards, among others. They are currently incorporating products for wood construction.
