Just like Priority 5, dedicated to territorial development which of the 140 million allocated, has already allocated 85 for the development of medium urban areas (Frosinone, Latina, Rieti and Viterbo) and Rome Capital (Ostia and Pietralata).
Among the topics on the agenda of the Committee, chaired by the Managing Authority of the ERDF PR Tiziana Petucci, the state of progress of the simplification and strengthening of administrative capacity actions carried out by the Lazio Region was also provided, also taken as an example by other Italian and European Administrations.
The Municipality of Viterbo then illustrated the state of implementation of its Territorial Strategy, as a case study to be proposed as good practice.
