In his speech, he reviewed the actions achieved during the year 2024. He announced a public works plan for 3 billion pesos and the strengthening of productive development through an area that includes the Barge Port, infrastructure improvements in the Industrial Park, and a logistics zone. “I do not lose sight of reality, but I do not renounce the idea that Concordia will once again be that beacon city of the Mesopotamia because I know we have what it takes,” he stated.
During this Thursday night, the Mayor of Concordia, Dr. Francisco Azcué, accompanied by the Vice Mayor, Lic. Magdalena Reta de Urquiza, inaugurated the period of Ordinary Sessions of the Deliberative Council. Before councilors, national and provincial legislators, members of the Municipal Cabinet, authorities, representatives of different institutions, and the general public, he reviewed the public policies developed during the year 2024 and outlined the path to travel together in this 2025.
With transformation, development, and growth of the city as the axis, Azcué stated that throughout 2024, “we have faced enormous challenges and have achieved very significant accomplishments in all areas of government, achievements that are already reflected in concrete improvements in the quality of life of our citizens. With effort, we have begun to trace a horizon toward a goal that was clearly pointed out by the people of Concordia at the polls when they gave us their vote of confidence: to take Concordia out of its stagnation and put it on the path of development, having institutional order as axes and promoting productive development, generating the conditions for investment and work in the private sector, and an austere but sensitive State to provide responses to the most vulnerable.”
“I renew my commitment to optimize municipal resources and professionalize services and public office. In this sense, work is being done on the implementation of measures that allow for improving internal organization, guaranteeing a responsible use of the budget. We want progress to be for everyone,” he stated.
In that sense, he stressed that “to grow and generate wealth, we must provide the necessary conditions for the private sector to invest in projects that create genuine sources of work, giving it clear rules, continuing with a policy of fiscal relief for businesses, SMEs, and companies as we have been doing, and above all, governing with open doors.”
“FACING PROBLEMS, NOT HIDING THEM”
After listing the different actions achieved during the first year of administration, the Mayor remarked that “we came to face the problems, not to hide them. That is why this year we will be dedicated to obtaining the funds that are necessary to advance in a public works plan, investing in stages in the most critical places so that Concordia is a better place to live and to invest.”
“We are attentive to the day-to-day needs but we also think in the medium and long term because we are convinced that if we do things well, we can achieve that Concordia projects itself to return to being a productive power. This government is permanently open to dialogue and in that back-and-forth with the productive sectors, we confirm that Transport and Logistics are relevant aspects for the functioning of activities,” which is why for this 2025 we plan to lay the foundations to put into operation a zone of productive and logistics activities.”
For this, Azcué announced that it is planned that said sector will contain a Barge Port to promote exports from the region; a modern and competitive Industrial Park that possesses infrastructure and a Logistics Activities zone, which will take place on the 47-hectare site, property of the Municipality, located in front of the current Industrial Park.
3 BILLION
Regarding public works for 2025, “we have planned a program that contemplates 3 billion pesos to invest in infrastructure. To that amount, possible loans that have already been managed and are close to being approved can be added to be poured into the city.”
It is planned to invest 200 million pesos in a storm drainage work on the Ayuí boulevard “to bring solutions to the repeated problems suffered by residents due to the lack of investment that our city suffered for decades.”
Also, “we have planned projects for the knowledge economy such as the launch of the Innovation Port in the Costanera, a strategic space for technological development and the establishment of companies.”
Azcué announced that he will send to the Deliberative Council a project to expand the Open Government and Citizen Service Ordinance “that guarantees all residents of Concordia access to public information, promoting transparency, citizen participation, and control of government acts.”
Finally, he maintained that “we can say that so far in this first year of administration we have advanced in tasks aimed at facilitating economic activity, simplifying the lives of entrepreneurs, and setting a planning horizon that allows them to dare for more. Convinced that a place that generates opportunities is a place where personal fulfillment is possible.”
“I do not lose sight of reality, but I do not renounce the idea that Concordia will once again be that beacon city of the Mesopotamia because I know we have what it takes, we have resources and we have the main thing, the will and the desire of many people from Concordia to continue giving their best every day to get ahead,” concluded the Mayor of Concordia.
