The Government, through an Agreement of the Government Delegated Commission for Economic Affairs and an Order of the Ministry of Finance and Public Service, has approved the granting of regional incentives to a total of 45 projects in ten Autonomous Communities. In particular, this aid is intended for Aragon, Asturias, Murcia, Castilla-La Mancha, Galicia, the Canary Islands, Castilla y León, Andalusia, Extremadura and the Valencian Community.
The overall amount of the grants awarded is 89.6 million euros and will allow a total investment of 504.5 million euros to be mobilized. These projects will maintain 4,798 jobs and create another 931 new jobs.
In the specific case of Asturias, according to the Ministerial Order published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), these are two projects, whose investments amount to 9.5 million euros and where grants will be awarded for a total of 944,820 euros.
These projects will create six new jobs and maintain another 184 jobs.
These projects are promoted, on the one hand, by Normagroup Technology S.A., whose project will be located in the municipality of Llanera, which will receive a grant of 395,947 euros and will allow to mobilize an investment of 2,639,647 euros.
On the other hand, Alusigma S.A., located in Gijón, will receive a grant of 548,873 euros, for a total investment of 6,860,917 euros.
This aid contributes to the interterritorial economic balance and to inclusive and sustainable economic growth by financing productive investment projects, job generators, technologically advanced and environmentally sustainable, promoting economic activity in the regions with a lower level of development and helping to close the gap in terms of per capita income with the rest of the regions, not only of Spain but also of the EU.
