Late Friday afternoon, the president of the  COM has offered its wishes to the living forces. He notably expressed his “support for business leaders”.

“The end of 2019 was particularly difficult for many of them when they were just coming out of the water after the cyclone. I want to assure them of my support and that of my teams, ”said Daniel Gibbs. Its teams asked companies to respond to a survey on the impact of social movements at the end of the year. "This investigation closed this evening [Friday] and I once again invite the presidents of associations to communicate to us all the quantified information that they can collect from their members," he said.

On the basis of the elements collected, the president will bring his services together "to define the methods of fiscal, financial or legal support [of the COM] to the most affected economic sectors".

In addition, Daniel Gibbs said he understood "the difficult situation" that companies can experience due to the "difficulties of execution of renovation and beautification sites". "A difficult situation to live for you as for us, whereas from the start of 2018, we set to work to very quickly concretize our ambition for regional planning," he said. "I want you to know that we are working on a forced march to be finally able to be reactive on public lighting, the state of the roads or even the embellishment of shopping areas", he assured. "And to admit:" I realize that we need to dialogue more, explain to you what we do and demonstrate pedagogy. This is to give you visibility ”.

The president also announced that the COM wishes to insert in the planning code the possibility of pre-empting goodwill and commercial leases. "We will thus have better monitoring of transactions in commercial areas and the possibility of intervening with the right of first refusal, if necessary," he agrees.

Finally, he sought to have everyone admitted that he had "his role in the future of our territory". “The responsibility for revitalizing the city center is shared. Thus, the owners of abandoned commercial premises must take their responsibilities and also participate in revitalizing the commercial activity ”, he declared. Discussions are under way for the implementation of "strong incentive measures".

Finally, Daniel Gibbs announced that “the 2020 budget will propose additional budgetary credits for commercial events, in addition to a strengthened partnership with associations of traders”. (soualigapost.com)
