"Support for the development of aeronautical production, development activities in the field of remotely piloted aircraft, spaceport activities and cargo-logistics functions. These are the objectives of the call published by Aeroporti di Puglia for the Taranto-Grottaglie airport for which we have worked for the past three years and which finally sees the light ".
The regional councilor of the Democratic Party declares it, Michael Mazzarano, which expresses satisfaction with the call published by Aeroporti di Puglia aimed at identifying a subject that can provide solutions to support the development of aeronautical production, development activities in the field of remotely piloted aircraft, spaceport activities, and cargo-logistics functions.
"It was October 3 years ago, when, as councilor for economic development - Mazzarano continues - with the Regional Council Resolution 1681/2017, I began to lay the foundations for a real economic change in our area, which no longer looked only at large industry, but managed to develop the enormous potential of our land that had never been exploited.
“The Marcello Arlotta airport in Grottaglie was fully part of this strategy to relaunch the area - continues the regional councilor - that with that act of address we decided to launch. It is a path in evolution, but real, and on June 15 last Aeroporti di Puglia published the Notice for the expression of interest for the award of the strategic consultancy service for the business development of Grottaglie Airport.
"Precisely in function of the development as a Spaceport of Marcello Arlotta - Mazzarano concludes - with the act of address 1681/2017, we then envisaged the construction of an integrated logistics hub between the Port of Taranto and the Grottaglie Airport, as part of the development and interconnection with the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) of Taranto ".
