Soil protection, healthcare, roads, culture and sport. These are some of the areas in which the funds from the Development and Cohesion Fund intended for Tuscany will be used. Between 17 cohesion agreements approved in recent days by the Interministerial Committee for Economic Planning and Sustainable Development (Cipess), also includes the one signed last March 13th in Florence between the Government and the Tuscany Region.
It’s about 531 million euroswhich are added to the 151 already assigned in advance in 2021 and 2023, for a total of over 680 million euros.
