Closing of the Co-Programming Phase for the Pon Metro Plus Medium Southern Cities 2021-2027

The co-programming phase of the Pon Metro Plus Medium Southern Cities 2021-2027 closed this afternoon with the signing of the project sheets by the partners. Mayor Clemente Mastella participated in the meeting with stakeholders via a remote connection from Rome, where he was engaged for institutional reasons. "Today marks the end of this first phase," explains Deputy Mayor Francesco De Pierro, who is responsible for the Metro Plus program for medium-sized cities, "a journey that began in November 2023 with the collection of ideas that was activated with the public notice. The contributions from civil society entities that participated in this shared path have been processed and summarized in the project sheets with the aim of reconciling their contents with the objectives of the program and with the needs of the city's socio-economic fabric." "The project sheets," De Pierro continues, "will now be reviewed by the Management Authority, from which we will await the OK before starting the second, operational phase. The administration has operated through the method of listening and receiving the instances coming from civil society actors: through the involvement of trade associations, parishes, committees, training bodies, trade associations, third sector entities, we have selected the challenges and needs to be addressed and imagined, in a shared form, possible solutions." "With the implementation of the Pon Metro Plus Medium Cities, we aim to promote new spaces of socio-economic innovation with opportunities for employment growth in some neighborhoods of the city, such as Capodimonte, Rione Libertà, Zona Stazione, and the area near the Villa dei Papi real estate complex and the surrounding park," concludes De Pierro.
