Calabria launches €41 million programme to redevelop former ZES industrial zones
The Regional Government of Calabria has issued a public tender worth more than €41 million to modernise the former ZES (Special Economic Zones) industrial areas in the north, centre and south of the region. The programme is promoted by ARSAI, the regional agency for industrial development, and is overseen by its president Sergio Abramo. Regional President Roberto Occhiuto identified the revitalisation of these sites as a strategic priority to boost competitiveness, attract new investment and create jobs.
The works outlined in the tender include reconstruction of road networks, installation of energy‑efficient lighting, new horizontal and vertical signage, safety upgrades, environmental‑sustainability measures and the deployment of video‑surveillance systems. The initiative forms part of a broader regional development plan coordinated by the Department of Labour, Enterprises and Productive Areas, headed by Fortunato Varone, with contributions from officials such as Caterina Loddo and Sergio Riitano. The investment aims to transform the industrial zones into modern, attractive clusters that can sustain economic growth in Calabria.
