The government meeting held on December 6, 2024, focused on addressing the challenges surrounding vacant properties and environmental concerns in the region. The discussions began with an acknowledgment of the long-standing issue of abandoned buildings, which have been a significant concern for local communities.

One of the primary topics was the mitigation of contamination associated with these properties. Officials emphasized the urgency of demolishing certain structures that pose environmental risks. The conversation highlighted the need for swift action to address these issues, with a call for agility in decision-making and implementation.

A key point raised during the meeting was the lack of incentives for employees involved in real estate transactions. It was noted that previously, commissions and bonuses motivated sales and management of properties. However, current conditions do not provide such incentives, which could hinder performance in the real estate sector.

Questions were raised regarding the status of 379 properties classified as unused. Officials were asked to provide detailed information on how long these properties have remained in this classification and what alternatives exist for those requiring significant investment. The need for transparency regarding the timeline and status of these properties was emphasized, particularly concerning environmental and structural issues.

The meeting also addressed the approval process for plans submitted to the governing board. Concerns were expressed about delays in responses from the board, which has been criticized for not adhering to the same standards of urgency it imposes on other entities. Officials committed to providing updated information on the status of pending plans and the duration they have been under review.

In response to the issue of vacant buildings, a program was introduced aimed at activating industrial properties that have been unoccupied for over three years. This initiative offers two years of rent-free occupancy to attract businesses willing to invest in necessary repairs. The program has already seen interest, with several contracts in progress across various municipalities.

Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of addressing vacant properties and environmental concerns while also highlighting the need for effective incentives and streamlined processes to facilitate progress in real estate management and development. Further updates and follow-up actions are expected as the government continues to tackle these pressing issues.
