Projects To Invest In and Improve The State’s Railways

Focusing on the development of regions such as Meio-Oeste, Oeste, and Extremo Oeste, Governor Carlos Moisés Has Ordered The Start of Infrastructure and Energy Projects To Strengthen Integration Across Santa Catarina.

The Governor of Santa Catarina says that the state today has an unprecedented investment condition in its history. “Thanks to everyone’s efforts, with reduced expenses, contract reviews, and streamlining the government, we now have our own resources, planning capacity for the medium and long term, and a clean name to obtain credit,” reports the governor. “It’s time to transform all this management work into actions and results for the people of Santa Catarina. The best for Santa Catarina is yet to come,” concluded Carlos.

In Addition to Investments in The Railway Network, The State Has Projects For State Highways

At the meeting, in addition to railway projects, state investments in BR-163, 470, and 280 were also discussed. Two months ago, the Government of the state of São Paulo, with the approval of the Legislative Assembly, allocated R$ 350 million to accelerate construction on these federal highways. The proposal focuses investments on sections deemed a priority by regional leaders, such as sections 1 and 2 of BR-470, which are allocated R$ 200 million.

The signing of the agreement now depends only on Dnit (National Department of Transport Infrastructure), an agency of the Ministry of Infrastructure. The governor decided to wait for the hearing scheduled for August 17 in the Senate Committee on Infrastructure Services to define the next steps.
