The Government Council has approved the General Interest Plan of Aragon (PIGA) for the logistics platform "La Melusa - Tamarite", an essential project for the transport of fresh produce in the region of La Litera.
- The new platform will cover almost 1.65 million square meters, distributed in logistics and residential areas.
- The construction of a rail loading dock for 750-meter trains is planned at a later stage.
- The "La Melusa-Tamarite" platform is expected to be operational in 3 years.
Distribution of areas
Subsector 1, dedicated to logistics, will occupy 1,392,575.84 square meters. This area, which extends over 4,000 meters parallel to the old N-240 road and has direct access to the A-22 highway, is located three kilometers from the provincial border with Lleida. It also has a 5-kilometre railway line on the Zaragoza-Barcelona line.
Subsector 2 comprises a residential area of 21,040.00 square meters located to the south of the urban center of Tamarite de Litera, next to the sports facilities, swimming pools, the Secondary School and green areas. This sector seeks to meet the housing demand generated by the implementation of the logistics platform.
Project Development
In Subsector 1, productive and tertiary activities will be centralized, including the construction of a freight railroad station. In a future phase, the construction of a 750-meter rail loading dock on the Madrid Chamartín-Barcelona Estación de Francia line, near the Tamarite-Altorricón station, will be approved to maximize the facility's operability. This loading dock is expected to facilitate connections to Barcelona, the Mediterranean and France, as well as to Algeciras, Madrid and Irun.
Subsector 2 will be transferred in its entirety to the local and regional administrations, in compliance with the urban development obligations of the project.
Economic Impact andEmployment
The first phase of PIGA will generate between 70 and 100 jobs. The second phase, which includes the construction of the railway siding and road connection, will create more than 200 jobs.
It is estimated that the logistics platform 'La Melusa-Tamarite' will be operational within three years, significantly boosting the labor market in the region of La Litera.
