Mugello, solidarity: contributions from CNA for businesses damaged by the flood
Yesterday afternoon, at the Motor Sim headquarters in Borgo San Lorenzo, the meeting took place delivery ceremony of 6 bank drafts worth 700 euros each in favor of 6 Mugello companies affected by the floods of last November. This initiative was made possible thanks to the fundraising activated by CNA Tuscany following the terrible storm that hit the region between 2 and 3 November 2023.
They were present at the ceremony Massimo Capecchipresident of CNA Mugello, Paolo OmoboniMayor of Borgo San Lorenzo e Giampiero MongattiMayor of Barberino di Mugello.
Capecchi underlined the importance of immediate support for companies in difficulty: “In a time of great uncertainty, it is essential that businesses receive concrete and timely support to be able to recover and continue their business. Although the contribution is symbolic, this initiative demonstrates the strength of our association system and the solidarity between artisans. Please remember that, throughout the Metrocity, CNA has distributed a total of 36,668 euros for businesses also in the Piana Fiorentina and Empolese Valdelsa”.
CNA returns to ask for adequate funds not only for territorial security, but also to support businesses who are facing the loss of turnover and customers, accumulating debts that the country system must help support, including banks.
State aid, recently released, should arrive shortly. However, there remains a climate of uncertainty regarding the appointment of the commissioner for reconstruction, a fundamental figure for coordinating interventions on damaged infrastructure and compensation, although Rome assures that the stalemate is about to end.
As regards regional aid, we are proceeding with the distribution of that to families, with 13 requests admitted to contribution in Mugello for a total of 34,128 euros. At a regional level, however, there are still 6,580 applications waiting to be integrated. As for businesses, as of January 25, 2,612 had submitted applications in Tuscany, but little information is still available on those admitted to regional contributions.
