Leroy Merlin será el promotor de un “gran Centro Comercial” en Badajoz para el 2010

[Guillote]

El concejal de Urbanismo ha querido recalcar que con esta actuación se demuestra “el grandísimo potencial de Badajoz” y la necesidad, “que esperamos tenga en cuenta la Junta”, de invertir en materia de “infraestructuras en la ciudad”.
Según ha informado el concejal de Urbanismo del ayuntamiento de Badajoz, Celestino Rodolfo, la marca Leroy Merlin se ha convertido en el promotor de un "gran centro comercial" en unas parcelas situadas en el Polígono el Nevero, propiedades de la Entidad Pública Empresarial del Suelo (SEPES), en la capital pacense.

Así, ha apuntado que este centro se compondrá de numerosas marcas comerciales distribuidas en forma de U y vertebrada por una mediana en las que se edificarán 65.000 metros cuadrados que supondrá una inversión de 95 millones de euros y que posee un plazo de ejecución de 22 meses, es decir "tiene prevista su construcción para la segunda mitad de 2010".

Además, dentro de la misma se edificarán dos hoteles, uno de tres y otro de dos estrellas, y en su conjunto creará una aproximación de 1.200 puestos de trabajos.

Celestino Rodolfo ha querido recalcar que esta actuación ha sido llevada "conjuntamente por el ayuntamiento pacense y el SEPES ya que en 2002 se acordó el cambio del uso del terreno por parte del consistorio", que estaba destinado para utilización deportiva para convertirlo en zona comercial".

Asimismo, ha manifestado que actuaciones de este tipo son las que están "demostrando el grandísimo potencial de Badajoz", ya que no será ni el primero ni el último gran centro comercial que se prevé construir en la ciudad, a lo que ha apuntado que "esperamos que la Junta sea consciente de las inversiones en infraestructura que necesitará la capital pacense y que no podría asumir el ayuntamiento solo, visto que Badajoz se convierte de forma definitiva en el centro económico", a lo que ha especificado "infraestructuras como la Ronda Sur, la construcción de algún puente, la Plataforma Logística y el AVE", ha concluido.

Nunca una gran proyecto comercial había apostado tan claramente por la zona más deprimida de la ciudad. Pero eso es lo que va a suceder con el parque comercial de 'Leroy Merlin', cuya ubicación apenas dista unos pocos centenares de metros de las Cuestas de Orinaza. Y un poco más allá están Los Colorines.

Las asociaciones de vecinos de El Progreso y el Gurugú agradecen el guiño realizado por el Ministerio de Vivienda a través de la Entidad Pública Empresarial de Suelo (Sepes), puesto que ha sido este organismo quien ha facilitado el suelo.

Lo que está por ver ahora es la repercusión que tendrá el parque comercial en las barriadas más próximas, pues nadie sabe si el parque comercial servirá de revulsivo en un entorno donde ahora sólo existen ruinas y viviendas sociales altamente conflictivas.

Ramón Vega, el propietario de la zapatería situada en el extremo de la avenida Padre Tacoronte más próximo al futuro 'Leroy Merlin' cree que el trasiego de personas aumentará, pero no tiene claro que afecte positivamente. «A la gente lo que le gusta es ir a comprar con el coche, entrar con el carrito en un lugar que tenga un buen aire acondicionado y marcharse a casa. Si es así, poco beneficio nos va a hacer».

Distinto sería si otras empresas apostaran por el entorno y los viejos edificios de El Progreso y el Gurugú fueran reconvertidos en espacios comerciales que completaran la oferta.

El Ayuntamiento de Badajoz ya ha dicho que tiene la intención de ampliar el polígono industrial haciendo que cruce la carretera de Campomayor en dirección a las Cuestas de Orinaza. Para entonces deberán haber desaparecido las casetas prefabricadas que aún siguen siendo ocupadas por las familias que no fueron sacadas por la Junta después de alegar que su comportamiento era asocial.

Ricardo Cabezas asume que ese traslado deberá hacerse algún día, pero cree que la ocupación de esos terrenos por naves industriales estrangularía las posibilidades de crecimiento de la zona. «Lo ideal es que ahí se hagan viviendas que puedan oxigenar el entorno. Si los pisos terminan en Los Colorines será complicado conseguir la recuperación de esa gente».

Sitting next to him is his son and second incommand, DAVID KROSS, a handsome man in his early thirties.All of them rise as Vivian comes to the table. David Krossholds out Vivian's chair for her. Surprised, she nods herthanks. In front of her is an enormous placesetting. Shesmiles down at the utensils, filled with confidence.Waiters have placed a delicate salad down in front of each ofthem.

He doesn't seeminterested in eating yet. Neither does David Kross. Feelinga sudden panic, Vivian puts her fork down.KROSSSo young man, I understand youare trying to take over mycompany.A moment. The abruptness of the question takes Edward back fora moment. But then he almost smiles.EDWARDPlease don't patronize me, Mr.Kross.

She starts to undress him 　　Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. wow gold (http://www.wow-power-leveling.fr), The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.　　The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight url=http://www.wowgoldvip.fr]wow gold[/url]. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult WOW Power leveling (http://www.buy-wow-gold.fr/wow-power-leveling-hot-packages.asp) life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we conscious of health until we are ill.　　I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some wow gold (http://www.buy-wow-gold.fr) time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.
