Mending old tears, redesigning the edges to give meaning and life back to the historic center of Ragusa, this is the direction of the municipal administration which is proceeding with the redevelopment works of the Ragusa station area and specifically also of the goods yard area (pictured above). A sort of new deal to recreate social economic ties that allow residents, citizens and tourists to relive the historic center of Ragusa, which re-evaluates and rediscovers the essence of the community through the role of a place.
This can also be achieved through an exploratory public notice for the acquisition of expressions of interest aimed both at the concession in use for the purposes of valorising a property, under construction intended for a bar-restaurant, and for the municipal property former state railways located at the goods yard.
In both cases, the Department of Economic Development intends to start a virtuous process of widespread improvement of the territory to revitalize public spaces and transform them into meeting places through the pursuit of objectives of collective interest capable of involving and enhancing private interests. In particular, the Department of Economic Development intends to provide impetus to entrepreneurial activities that primarily serve the resident population.
“Through the collection of ideas on the nature and purpose of these properties, on their enjoyment and their possible use – declares the councilor for Economic Development Giorgio Massari (in the photo above) – we want to create an economic and social centre. It is about carrying out important activities not only from an economic point of view but mainly from a social point of view, because only a close connection between the territory, the needs of a community and the return to life of old and historic places through their rebirth and their full fruition, they can themselves be protagonists of a community that believes and wants to live: by investing in our history, in our past we can, with the tools we have at our disposal, choose our future”.
