The change of officials at the national, provincial and municipal levels brought with it uncertainty about what is going to happen with different policies that were being carried out and that were left unfinished in previous administrations. One of the transcendental issues in Santa Fe is public works.
The Great Santa Fe Gasduct, the Circunvalar Plan, and the Santa Fe-Córdoba Aqueduct are some of the works promised to the residents of the province; while the Néstor Kirchner Waterfront, the ASSA water treatment plant and the new building of the Almirante Brown Institute are those agreed to be carried out for the capital city. In addition, the maintenance of national routes must be resolved immediately. Lisandro Enrico, Minister of Public Works, spoke with AIRE and told what the view that Maximiliano Pullaros government has on public works, while analyzing the situation of the buildings that are underway in Santa Fe and revealed how the first contacts with the Nation.
Lisandro Enrico in his meeting with national officials in Buenos Aires. »The provinces view is territorial, of being able to expand public works in the large number of localities. We also have a productive perspective and an economic perspective. Inflation destructures public works programs, it makes it difficult for a company to be able to meet its objectives and also for the State to be able to guarantee its continuity," said the official.
Works and routes in Santa Fe, and financing from the Nation
Another issue that the new management led by Maximiliano Pullaro in Santa Fe will have to face is its relationship with the national government of Javier Milei, which has already anticipated funding cuts to the provinces. "We want to have concrete definitions from the national government," said Enrico, who the previous week traveled to Buenos Aires to begin managing the maintenance of the routes that cross the province and that show an advanced state of deterioration.
Volunteer firefighters from Gobernador Crespo marked the potholes with drums on Route 11. However, beyond any type of decision made by the Nation regarding the funding cuts, the minister encountered a problem: "The officials were not yet designated in the areas of National Highways and the Ministry of Public Works, which makes it a problem not to have valid or recognized interlocutors.

Santa Fe demands that the Nation ensure the maintenance of the 2,800 kilometers of national routes that cross the province «What we did was, at least, present to the people who received us – who would be the officials – the emergencies we have. The Nation may suspend public works in terms of carrying out new works, but it cannot ignore a legal obligation to maintain the routes.
What is going to happen with public works in Santa Fe
With this problem that arose since "were going," Enrico focused on some of the works that are planned or being carried out in the province of Santa Fe. "There are many works that were financed with national funds and, not having certainty about whether "The Nation is going to continue investing in works, we have no way of knowing what will happen," he acknowledged.
In principle, some works that "we believe will continue based on what they told us, which are those that have a significant degree of progress. There are others that are in the beginning, such as the San Javier-Tostado Aqueduct, which is 10% complete. This work is difficult for the National Government to want to carry out due to the type of work and the low level of development. In the same way, the Water Purification Plant, the Néstor Kirchner Waterfront, the Circunvalar Plan, are still on "stand by" and waiting for news about the decisions made by the Nation.
Works on the Néstor Kirchner Waterfront in the city of Santa Fe. Currently it cannot be passed. The Santa Fe-Córdoba Aqueduct, meanwhile, has the particularity that it is recognized by the Nation. Enrico postulated that "the works that are done with international funds or external financing sources will be developed by the national government." «It is a joint work between the provinces that take out the loan and, in some way, guarantees that the funds are there. Currently, work is being done on stage 1, which is the intake of water from the Coronda River, the transfer of the six-kilometer pipeline to what is the purification plant and the plant itself. "This work would continue its normal course."
The Admiral Brown Institute
When asked about the new building of the Almirante Brown Institute, which officially began construction at the end of September 2023 with the signing of the minutes by the former governor, Omar Perotti, Enrico stated that "a rethinking of the work would be missing." . «The Institute building is an entirely provincial project and what is missing is a rethinking because, although a project was developed and there is a need to have a new space for the Institute, the place where it is done, the type of building, the "The height given to it, the subsoil and other issues generated things against it in the Architectural Heritage Commission, while the Municipality was not consulted (neither the previous nor the current management)," explained the minister.
With which – Enrico continued – “there are works where we have to have consensus to move forward and this is one of them.” And he insisted: «It is because of the type of work that is going to be developed. A project was made, it was put out to tender, but it had some important reservations. «To begin with, the Municipality itself said that it is an area where we were going to have communication problems, access to parking, and that they could not conceive that there was a work that was seven meters below the ground due to the problems of the layers and the flooding. . Furthermore, its height is not architecturally compatible," he detailed and closed: "A series of issues arise that make us agree on a type of work and, based on that agreement, if we can, we move forward."
