The municipal administration of Tortoreto has officially withdrawn a project financing plan intended to fund the redevelopment of the square in front of the Santissima Maria Assunta Church and a parking area on via Teramo. The plan would have granted a private entity control over paid parking management for 23 years.

The withdrawal follows significant public opposition, including demonstrations and a petition signed by over one thousand people. Critics, including the local Democratic Party and civic committees, argued the project would impose a financial burden exceeding 10 million euros through lost municipal revenue and increased costs for users.
