WORK IN Langreo

«One of the biggest enemies to boost the economy are the institutions, in particular, the Langreo Town Council. Instead of facilitating, they are a barrier to any procedure»

Challenges
- Intellectual exodus. «It is very upsetting to think that previous generations in the basin have worked so that their children can study and now those children have to leave the area»
- Quality of the work created and economic return. «Something must be developed in the field of production and knowledge that provides high added value, not companies that do not leave value in the area»
Opportunities
- Generate quality employment. «It is an area of nature in which ecological, sustainable, long-lasting projects can be developed, generating self-employment, training and even wealth for the area itself»
- Industrial land. «There is a lot of industrial land freed up by large companies. It is necessary to facilitate access to it for companies that want to carry out their activities on it»
