(WAPA) - Airport Agrigento-Valley of the Temples has taken another step towards its realization. Last Tuesday afternoon, the regional government of Sicily ruled a budget of 30 million Euros for the construction of the airport infrastructure of Agrigento. The budget comes from European funds FAS (funds utilised areas) and in the decisions that were considered, there is also the possibility to use the staff of Sicily in the management of the airports. Extremely satisfied with the regional councillors Michele Cimino, Roberto Di Mauro and Luigi Gentile: “By Thursday, the project will be presented as a ‘Framework Project-Transportation. It is the last act which is a prelude to the implementation of the airport. The regional government has done everything that was required of him to do. This result was achieved thanks to the realism and tenacity of the President of the province of Agrigento, Eugenio D’Orsi, who has always believed in the possibility of making a stopover in the area”. “I’ve always said, first as Deputy Mayor for Planning, and then to the Budget (Cimino told the commissioner – that the airport could become a reality in Agrigento. Finally, after abandoned projects, ‘Pharaonic’ and unrealistic offer a concrete answer that has been wanted for a long time dawn on Agrigento does not deserve a fake illusion. “Finally – added Gentile – it opens a new chapter for the province of Agrigento, to exit the geographical marginality that has hampered economic development. I hope that the time is for the expeditious implementation of a structure that, along the highway Caltanissetta – Agrigento province will release our isolation.
