Rasero mayor of Asti: “A bet placed in advance that now pays”

“With foresight Asti has bet on logistics, a sector where there is a future. Today this choice proved us right ». Thus mayor Rasero comments on the amendment approved in the Senate, which allows in Asti to be included in the rear port area of ​​Genoa. Mayor, good news.

«We have always said that it was necessary to work on two lines of development: tourism and annexes, such as culture and events, and logistics, taking advantage of the central position of Asti, close to expanding ports. We do not only look at the goods, but also at the people who arrive there. By joining the Slala Foundation we have therefore given substance to this choice, comparing ourselves several times on the logistical development of the territory. And also convinced other bodies to do the same, as in tourism: with the birth of the new Asti Alba institution, we have managed to involve various realities and numerous centers in the Asti area, many more than they were before in Atl ». How did you play this battle?

«It is a work that has been underway for some time, I am also thinking of the first meetings in Liguria. The territory has fielded the energies, even the entrepreneurs have moved and politics. The technicality that could have excluded us no longer exists ». What are the prospects?

«We have a first concrete step to bring the logistics to Asti. In addition to the benefits for the Asti companies, it will be able to make the area attractive for investors, with positive repercussions also on the related industries. It is certainly the beginning of a path that will not be immediate, but in the medium-long term ”. Speaking of territorial development, the completion of Asti-Cuneo?

“Basic. It’s the other big game. A strategic work for the connections and the economic revitalization of the province. Complementary and equally important works, a second bridge over the Tanaro and the South West connection of the city: a light route, certainly not with four lanes. In addition to lightening traffic in the city, it would also have environmental benefits ». v. four. – © breaking latest news
