The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP) in Grosseto is taking shape. With a total of 30 projects, funding in excess of 38 million euros, more than 4 million euros in municipal contribution, 12 million euros in private co-financing, and an additional 20 million euros in indirect investments. It is estimated that the total effect of these investments will exceed 100 million euros for the whole community.

Officer Emiliano Mori confirmed that NRP funding is arriving in a timely manner following the pace of releases. So far, the municipality has received 10 percent of the resources earmarked for schools, amounting to about 1 million euros, 1.25 million euros for “Pinqua” projects, 350,000 euros for small works, and 250,000 euros for sports. In addition, the urban forest regeneration intervention has already been completed.

Among the ongoing projects, the most relevant is the “Pinqua” project, which includes a series of targeted interventions focused mainly on the historic center but also engage external areas. In fact, as Public Works Councillor Ginanneschi mentioned, more than 34 million euros will be used for the total rehabilitation of the former Peep area in Via De’Barberi for the construction of Erp and Ers apartments. Meanwhile, Pinqua’s first step is almost complete, with the restoration and enhancement of the Bastione Cavallerizza to be completed on Oct. 13 thanks to the 215,000 euros invested. This area will soon become usable and will be used for performances.

In addition, an investment of 1.21 million euros is planned for the urban renewal of Palm Square and surrounding streets, including the resurfacing of the road surface. The work is expected to be awarded by the end of the year, with work starting in early 2024.

Another significant investment involves the demolition and reconstruction of the municipal building on Via Saffi, with the aim of creating 20 new residences and integrated community services. Again, work is scheduled to be awarded by the end of the year.

Finally, 3.1 million euros will be allocated to enhance the Cassero Senese, making it accessible to all. Work is scheduled to start in early 2024.
