AGREEMENT REACHED OVER NEW MIJAS BUSINESS PARK

The mayor of Mijas, Agustín Moreno, who has just been re-elected, announced last week that agreement has been reached in principle between the Town Hall, the Junta de Andalucía and those responsible for creating the Parque Empresarial business park. The council and the developers have decided to accept the land proposed under the terms of the POT land law, and the mayor says the new location will resolve the problem of the dwellings at La Alberquilla, will create a huge green zone and regenerate the area at the side of the river. It will also mean more land will be available for industrial and commercial use. The developers of the business park will also be able to recoup their original investment in the million and a half square metre site beside the Fuengirola-Alhaurín el Grande road. That site was declared of interest for protection under the POT, which came as a blow to those involved in the project, but Sr. Moreno says that after due consideration it has been decided that the new location has many advantages for the municipality and he believes definitive agreement will be reached in the near future. The business park will then be built to the north of La Alberquilla, and will consist of four million square metres of land, of which at least half will be for industrial use. The remainer will be residential and commercial, and will include a large green zone.
