(Finance) – Published today on the Invitalia and NextAppennino websites the guidelines relating to sub-measures B1.3a, B1.3b and B1.3c dthe program of the Plan complementary to the Pnrr dedicated to the earthquake areas 2009 and 2016, with indications relating to the implementation phase of the projects. The granting of funds intended for the companies of the two craters is thus started, which allows the start-up of investments relating to “Start-up, growth and return of micro-enterprises” (B1.3a), “Innovative investments by SMEs” (B1.3b), “Start-up, growth and return of SMEs” (B1.3c).
The companies – explains a press release – by complying with what is reported in the published documentation, they will now be able to proceed with the request for advances, or proceed with the first reports on the investments started. In the next few weeks Invitalia will proceed with the disbursement of the resources.
“After the granting of the funding, there are now all the elements to start with the implementation of the interventions. This means – declared the Commissioner for Repairs and Reconstruction of the 2016 earthquake Guido Castelli – that what represents perhaps the largest investment package ever dedicated to the central Apennines can be concretely launched. I thank Invitalia for the effort made and the collaboration shown: in this phase we have worked productively to impose a substantial change of pace, oriented towards simplification and listening to the needs coming from the territory, which is now highlighting significant results. To understand the dimensions of this innovation, it is enough to remember that there are 1,151 companies involved, the resources dedicated to the projects amount to 171.6 million euros which, in turn, generate investments of 296 million.”
“This is a unique opportunity for growth, work and innovation for our territories, which we must all help make as effective as possible. This is a more than encouraging sign – continues Castelli – in the process of repairing and relaunching the central Apennines, in which investments are being made in a more substantial and targeted way than ever before thanks to the attention that the government and the Regions are dedicating to it . The fact that the companies in the so-called restricted crater admitted to the financing of the three sub-measures express important percentages compared to the total is a further factor to be underlined and valorised. There is no shortage of difficulties to overcome, and this is why we work every day, but the crater is alive and the spirit of rebirth that runs through it is the best premise for completing our work: giving a new future of opportunity and growth to these lands “.
