Asola

 

The Municipality of Asola has participated in the AttrACT Program by identifying four settlement opportunities located on its territory. The areas involved are all greenfields (undeveloped, free land), which extend over 90,000 square meters of total surface, all privately owned - two in Via Cadimarco, one in Strada Compartitori, and the Cottarelli Area, in via Parma, for the which are planned urbanization works.

The municipality has anticipated and enhanced the  sewage system to support the productive settlements in the expandable Cottarelli area. They have also devised a strategic marketing plan involving an analysis of the territorial attraction factors, local industrial vocations, professional skills in the area, and the reorganization of the SUAP (Single Desk for Productive Sctivities) and SUE (Single Desk for Urban Planning) services to enhance user services.
