"It is - underlined the Councilor for Works public and protection of the territory, mobility of the Region Lazio, Mauro Alessandri - of a very important push that the Lazio Region intends to give the future of the economy linked to the port activities and which will have positive repercussions on the development of our entire territory thanks to incentives and facilities for qualified investment projects in sectors key as transport and tourism. This also means creating new jobs and investment, as well as the strengthening of rail and road connections, which may also extend to vehicular traffic. The Municipalities - specified the councilor Alessandri - may be among the main beneficiaries of the measures envisaged from the Strategic Development Plan. Attracting new investments aims to generate economic repercussions and immediate employment on the territories of settlement, triggering development factors such as demand for research, innovation and qualified training with which local administrations can interact. The strengthening of infrastructural aspects, with particular reference to rail and road connections provided for in the regional plan for mobility, transport and logistics will bring benefits that go far beyond the system logistic: from the decongestion of inhabited centers, freed from the traffic crossing heavy vehicles, to the improvement of air quality, with shares of trade shifted from iron rubber; new infrastructure, the use of which can extend also to vehicular traffic, opening new directions territorial economic development, making services and areas more accessible production. It is therefore a step epochal for the infrastructural and economic growth of our region'.
