With the demolition of the former Enel power plant in Porto Tolle, work gets underway for the new Porto Tolle Delta Farm eco-sustainable tourist village of the Florentine group, Human Company.
The official announcement was made at a press conference organized by the governors of Porto Tolle at which it emerged that the demolition and dismantling of the former plant will take about 24 months. Planning the development of the future Delta Farm Village is underway, and expected to be completed by 2022. A highly qualified group of environmentally friendly specialists is at work in parallel with the demolitions to speed up the process, which has been revised in light of the pandemic.
A centre promoting typical local products
Obtaining the Notice of Commencement is a fundamental step in the process of converting the former plant into the Delta Farm project. It involves the creation of an open-air tourist village, an area for water sports, and a centre promoting typical local products, all aimed at enhancing the environment and the area’s natural beauty. As well as the related industries, the direct employment foreseen within the village is around 400.
There will be an impact on employment in the area
The decommissioning of the Enel thermoelectric plant will respect the expectations of the local authorities, the regional administration and Enel, both in terms of the quality and sustainability of the operations, and the impact on employment in the area.“This is a highly complex operation, both for the decommissioning phase and for the future development of tourism in the area, and it certainly constitutes a demanding and very motivating challenge,” underlines the technical director of Human Company, Mario Raniolo.
