Campania housing, jobs, health and infrastructure expansion

Overview

Through 2024‑2026 the Campania regional cabinet expanded EU‑funded programmes across housing, jobs, transport and health. Over €69 million was earmarked for education, research and innovation, €293 million for Sarno‑river flood mitigation and €122 million for environment, culture and sport. The GOL employability scheme added training, apprenticeships and a €3 million pilot for migrant‑women inclusion; veterinary reference centres and €2.2 million for wildfire prevention were created. SME aid design was shaped in a technical forum, while a €70 million “Inclusione” package funded neuro‑developmental screening, autism, mental‑health services and disability support such as “Dopo di Noi”. Grants supported local commerce, cinema, live‑performance and contemporary music projects. Agricultural promotion linked San Marzano tomatoes, Gragnano pasta and Verace pizza, and a lemon‑landscape charter protected terraced orchards. Transport initiatives included a €70 million Occupability Plan, a €2 million boost for Salerno‑Costa d’Amalfi airport, new civil‑protection vehicles, restructuring of the EAV holding and a €734.7 million transport‑tourism package that added Natura 2000 zones. Housing policy advanced with the €245 million HO.P.E. programme, a €1.2 million accessibility fund and the Cilento South masterplan; construction grew 5.9 % as 90 % of PNRR projects reached completion. The region promoted land‑reuse, launched an income‑support motion and faced criticism of Air Campania’s depot conditions.

In August 2026, Air Campania took over Benevento’s municipal bus network from Trotta Bus, resolving service crises and wage disputes by introducing a fleet of methane and electric vehicles. Additionally, the Ente Idrico Campano approved over €145 million for integrated water services to reduce leaks and strengthen climate resilience, including sewer projects in Agerola, Pesco Sannita, and Presenzano.
