Local governance in Sciacca is currently addressing various infrastructure and urban management issues. City Councilor Ignazio Bivona has formally inquired about the deteriorating state of Via Marco Polo, noting that broken public lighting and damaged road surfaces pose safety risks to residents and tourists. Bivona has requested a timeline for repairs and suggested using tourist tax revenue for infrastructure improvements.

Simultaneously, the municipal administration is working on regulations to combat commercial desertification and support the historic center through urban regeneration and incentives for entrepreneurs. Meanwhile, a construction project in Via Maccatella has faced opposition due to administrative discrepancies regarding whether the site is intended as a multipurpose area or a parking and sports facility.
