Abruzzo municipalities approve accessibility and renovation projects

Local administrations in the Abruzzo region of Italy have approved projects aimed at improving accessibility and infrastructure.

In Roseto degli Abruzzi, the municipal government led by Mayor Mario Nugnes has approved an executive project to eliminate architectural barriers in the local cemetery. Following requests from the National Coordination of Families with Disabilities (CONFAD), the town will allocate approximately 35,000 euros to construct a 135-meter-long continuous walkway. The reinforced concrete path will feature an anti-slip finish to assist elderly citizens and individuals with mobility impairments who previously struggled with gravel surfaces.

In Collelongo, the Abruzzo Region has approved funding for the redevelopment of the municipal bocciodromo (bowls club). The project, totaling 297,400 euros, will focus on improving services, increasing energy efficiency, and removing architectural barriers. The funding was made possible through an amendment to the 2023/2027 Strategic Plan of the Common Agricultural Policy (PAC), which increased available resources for rural area investments.
