Context and importance of logistics in Casatisma
Casatisma is a small town in the province of Pavia, Lombardy, North Italy. This small village is about to become a crucial reference point in the logistics sector, thanks to the ambitious AKNO Casatisma Business Park project. This initiative aims to position Casatisma at the centre of Northern Italy’s logistics routes, taking advantage of its strategic location and accessibility to major transport arteries.
The point on negotiations between the municipality and AKNO Group
Negotiations between the Municipality of Casatisma and AKNO Group, a leader in logistics and industrial parks, have spanned five years. This dialogue led to the signing of an agreement to build a 70,000 square metre state-of-the-art logistics centre, demonstrating the joint commitment to local economic development.
Expected impact on the local labour market
The project not only promises to revolutionise the region’s logistics sector, but is also expected to generate significant job opportunities for the residents of Casatisma and surrounding areas, with the creation of around 200 jobs.
AKNO Group’s logistics project in Casatisma
The decision to reduce the area initially planned for the project, due to its proximity to the Palazzo Mezzabarba, a protected historical building, did not deter the developers. The new centre will be built close to the motorway tollgate, minimising the impact on the surrounding areas and preserving the landscape by means of significant tree planting around the site.
In addition to the construction of the logistics hub, AKNO Group is committed to carrying out significant public works for the community, including a large roundabout at the entrance to the motorway, a new access to the village, a junction for traffic heading for the logistics hub, the resurfacing of the Milan-Genoa road, a car park in front of the post office, and the removal of asbestos from the roofs of the former Bettaglio furnace. In addition, AKNO Group will contribute EUR 1 million for urbanisation charges and other works in the public interest.
The municipality obtained a commitment from AKNO Group to prioritise local recruitment, providing a significant opportunity for the residents of Casatisma and neighbouring municipalities. Building permits have already been applied for and work is expected to begin by the end of the summer.
The mayor of Casatisma, Arpesella, emphasised the care taken during the approval process, assuring that the logistics hub will represent a growth opportunity for Casatisma, while fully respecting the environment and landscape.
This project will not only bring new jobs and improve the local infrastructure, but also marks a significant step forward in the economic and social development of Casatisma and the entire province of Pavia.
