Campania Regional Council approves waste management and urban funding measures

The Campania Regional Council has approved several measures during its ordinary session on November 10, 2026. Under the initiative of President Marco Marsilio, the Council established a framework for managing residual urban waste through agreements with other regions. This strategy aims to prioritize energy recovery and reduce landfill use, with details to be finalized in an updated regional plan subject to Strategic Environmental Assessment.

Additionally, the Council allocated over 624,000 euros for urban redevelopment in municipalities with fewer than 30,000 inhabitants, bringing the total FSC 2021-2027 program funding to approximately 78.6 million euros. The updated 2026 hiring plan was also approved, increasing the number of permanent positions from 69 to 85.

Other measures include the extension of emergency well usage in Bussi sul Tirino until the end of 2026 to ensure drinking water continuity in the Pescara area, and an 80,300 euro agreement with the University of Tuscia to develop a management plan for regional state forests.
