The initiatives born from the collaboration between Strada dei Parchi and the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga National Park Authority continue. The President of the National Park Tommaso Navarra and the CEO of SdP Riccardo Mollo inaugurated a luminous skyline, installed on an overpass that crosses the A24 in the territory of Lucoli (AQ). The profile of the Gran Sasso Massif, crossed by the iconic chamois that identifies the National Park, from today introduces travelers to the discovery of a unique and delicate ecosystem that Strada dei Parchi wants to invite you to know and respect. A heritage of extraordinary biodiversity and uncontaminated landscapes that the Park Authority has been protecting for almost 30 years.
“A positive institutional synergy is being consolidated that sees the Authority and the Strada dei Parchi S.p.A. Company usefully operating, to which we extend our thanks on behalf of our identity-based Community that lives in our territory,” declared President Navarra. “Today we are inaugurating a door, not only symbolic, of access to our protected area; all those who walk through it will have the opportunity to reflect on the extraordinary value of the environmental matrices they are approaching.”
“This is our small contribution to an important collaboration with a large Authority, which provides a valuable service to the community,” added CEO Riccardo Mollo. “The highway renovation works in this area are proceeding quickly also and above all thanks to the agreement and synergies that Strada dei Parchi has established with the territory. We would like to operate with the same profitable unity of purpose with the Grantor, but the approval of the only certain source of planning, the PEF, is continually postponed. Without this tool, the highway renovation is blocked in this area and only at the seismic adaptation”.
“The overall program, already defined with the Extraordinary Commissioner, which includes investments of over six billion euros without further unsustainable burdens for our Customers, has been at a standstill for ten years”, continues Riccardo Mollo. “Of these funds, a good eight hundred million are related to urgent and no longer deferrable interventions. The paradox is that they are planned and financed, they could be carried out immediately but, despite all the efforts made by Strada dei Parchi over the years, the go-ahead has not been given”.
