He Tenerife Council will invest one million euros in a crash plan that serves to reverse the situation of abandonment suffered by the environment of the Güíma industrial estater.
The Minister of Industry, Manuel Fernández, held a meeting this week with the mayors of the municipalities of Arafo, Güímar and Candelaria, to address the situation of this industrial estate, which has a supra-municipal nature, since it is based on the three aforementioned municipalities. Fernández announced during the meeting that the initial document of the island budgets for 2024 includes an item of one million euros, which is intended to “resolve the deterioration that currently exists in the area around the industrial estate, and which the businessmen themselves denounce. that they are located there.”
The counselor assured that it is “an initiative that demonstrates the intention of this island government to promote a change of model in the industrial policy of Tenerife, which allows the economic diversification of the island,” to which he added that the industry “is a sector that generates stable and quality employment, and advancing in this aspect is one of the aspirations that we have from the Cabildo.” “With this objective, we have promoted work and coordination meetings with the mayors of the municipalities of the Güímar valley and with the businessmen who are located in the industrial area, with the aim that the priority actions of this shock plan emanate from consensus and dialogue between all parties,” he added.
He also indicated that during the meeting with the mayors the need to create an entity to manage the Polygon was addressed, “to prevent the situation of abandonment that it currently suffers from being repeated.” The counselor explained that one of the main problems that the Polygon suffers in relation to its activity is mobility, since its access roads are not in good condition, an aspect about which he recalled, “we have facilitated other meetings with mayors and entrepreneurs to address this problem, from which the Council’s commitment to improve entry and exit routes arose, as well as promote actions that alleviate the influx of vehicles.”
The shock plan, on the other hand, will include maintenance actions, cleaning, electrical connections, pavement and signage improvements, among other issues.
