And along these lines, he continued, incentive measures have been designed for the installation of companies in rural areas, since those who decide to invest in depopulated areas to locate their business activity will also have tax deductions and up to 40 percent hundred more grants to settle in these territories.
The meeting is part of a round of work meetings that the commissioner is developing in all the provinces of the region to deepen with the mayors and councilors of different counties the measures of the Law and the Regional Strategy against Depopulation.
