The work means a national investment of more than $2,800 million.
On the occasion, Frana stated that “it is excellent news for the residents of Calchaquí. Thanks to the commitment of his people, today we have a historic work underway. Through this invaluable commitment, university students devised this project in their thesis and today, with the approval of the National Water Resources Secretariat, this thesis project is a concrete work, which leaves paper to become a reality. This is a clear example of when we talk about roots, people with ideas and commitment decide to work for their locality and when they find opportunities to do so, these transcendental things are achieved”.
“It is a source of pride to see how a town grows, with its people pushing for this to happen, walking its streets and seeing how the Calchaquí terminal turned out, is something that we all admire. These are the actions that allow growth and development, that have to do with peoples daily lives and that in such adverse situations that we are facing with this pandemic, we make every effort to strengthen the infrastructure in every corner of the province. . That is our first objective: to be present where people need it”.
For his part, Cuello expressed that “we are very satisfied with this work so longed for by our people, by our city. When they told us from the Nation that we call for a public tender, it was a great emotion, because this is a large-scale work for everything that is going to be done within 46 blocks. It is a commitment and a job for everyone, so on my part, thank you all for your accompaniment”.
In his turn, Sosa pointed out: “This is the consequence of permanent work in management to achieve absolutely everything for Calchaqui. I dont know which mayor in the province can exhibit 128 blocks of pavement, have the terminal station, have the gravel to the Laguna El Cristal, the roads of rurality, the stimuli for dairy production, among other actions. Therefore, bidding for this work is really a very important investment, it is a very large work. Nation gave us this amount, impossible for a commune to address and I have no choice but to congratulate all those responsible.
