A third of premises at the Port Olímpic now under municipal contro
Six premises were recovered today via a legal process, the keys to four of them having been handed over voluntarily, and a further twenty are awaiting rulings by the courts. The goal is to transform the area into a space for the local community, well-connected to the urban layout and offering activities linked to the sea.
Taking back control of the premises at the Moll de Mestral wharf will enable companies linked to nautical sports and the sea to move in, potentially generating up to two hundred jobs.
The boost to the blue economy will replace the nightlife which has predominated in the area to date and which causes inconvenience to local people and cuts the port off from the lives of citizens.
New social and family meeting point
Recovering control of the premises is another step towards the transformation of the area, which also includes an urban revamp to create areas to relax in, the renovation and extension of the Municipal Sailing Centre and improved connections with the rest of the city.
Some measures to open up the port for use by local people are already under way.
