“After Athens and Piraeus, two Municipalities – to which through the “Attiki 2021-2027 Program” – we allocated a total of over 184 million euros for important infrastructure projects, the Association of Municipalities of South Athens takes its turn. We are strengthening the triptych: local entrepreneurship, tourism and culture for Kallithea, Alimos and Paleo Faliro – three municipalities in South Athens with indisputable cultural, geographical and environmental advantages – in order to put into practice everything we have committed to the citizens of Attica. And we will continue next week with the rest of the Municipalities of Attica”, said the Regional Governor of Attica, welcoming the Mayor of Alimos Andreas Kondylis, the Mayor of Kallithea Kostas Askounis and the Mayor of Palaio Faliro, Yiannis Fosteropoulos.
Mr. Hardalias added:
“We use every available financial tool and we want it to be used “rewardingly” in the local communities. Our main concern is sustainable urban development, with the upgrading of basic infrastructure for the quality of life of citizens, the support of the new generation and the welfare state.
In this context, we create, among other things, an Entrepreneurship Support Center, as well as start-up business clusters, we upgrade the energy of our buildings, create “green” routes and immediately launch projects that support local employment, promote social entrepreneurship and improve the daily life of our fellow citizens with disabilities.
At the same time, we are strengthening our two main pillars: tourism and culture, focusing on the huge development potential of our coastal front. We highlight our historical routes, significant archaeological sites, the architecture of the interwar period, the music of our refugees, but also the flavors of our sea. Both levels of Self-Government are joining forces. Together we are changing the future in our neighborhoods, always having the citizens of Attica at the core of our policy.”
In particular, from the 25.2 million euros:
8.59 million euros will be given to strengthen the competitiveness and extroversion of the regional economy (such as the strengthening of research and innovation, the exploitation of the benefits of digitization, the development and competitiveness of small and medium enterprises, etc. ).
9.86 million euros will be given to strengthen spatial economic, social, environmental and cultural development and cohesion (such as bioclimatic upgrades in selected municipal buildings, the creation of smart e-culture applications, e-tourism and strengthening of sustainable mobility, supply and installation of an irrigation system in green spaces, the construction of rainwater management projects and the development of a system for monitoring environmental parameters, etc.).
6.55 million euros will be given to promote regional social cohesion through the strengthening of mechanisms and services to support human resources, employment, education, health care, socio-economic inclusion, equal opportunities and addressing risks of poverty and exclusion (improving the lives of people with disabilities, access to employment and activation measures for all, strengthening Lifelong Learning centers, balanced participation of the sexes in the labor market, social inclusion of people at risk, equal access to quality social and health services, etc.).
For his part, the Mayor of Alimos, Andreas Kondylis, stated: “The bet is to quickly and efficiently proceed with this big project, for which we are and will be judged. It is a great responsibility to manage and absorb quickly, so that we can all move forward – together – for cities with better infrastructure, for societies with greater cohesion and opportunities at work”.
“We will respond in the best way, so that this money can be used for the benefit of society, in necessary projects to upgrade the lives of our citizens,” said the Mayor of Kallithea, Kostas Askounis, while referring to Mr. Hardalia, he underlined: “I am sure, that we will have the undivided support of all the officials of the Region, but also yours personally, because you are the person who comes from the bowels of the Self-Government”.
“The money that will be given will take place. Don’t worry, we know the job, we will fight it until the end” said the Mayor of Palaio Faliro Yiannis Fostiropoulos characteristically to the Regional Governor of Attica, referring to the need to submit mature studies. And he noted: “There are not enough resources, we all know that. The studies have been done with great care, so I believe that we will very quickly be ready to have completed the projects in order to achieve absorbency.”
