Now what to do with the Portes du Tarn business park? The promoter almost (or at least symbolically) recorded on Wednesday the abandonment of the Terra 2 logistics platform (located in Saint-Sulpice-la-Pointe on the border of Tarn and Haute-Garonne) by announcing the start of negotiations with opponents of the project. The construction of a 70,000 square meter logistics platform on twelve hectares which could generate the passage of many trucks was launched in 2015. From the start, it came up against strong opposition and in February the work was stopped by decision of justice.
So to come out on top of this issue, negotiations could take place very soon. On the table : several alternative projects of smaller sizes are planned to replace the logistics warehouse and still maintain the Portes du Tarn business park. Jean-Michel Jédelé, Associate Managing Director of JMG Partners insists: “Our desire is to first initiate a constructive process of exchanges with the associations in order to work on the design of a fully shared project. We have already made contact with the associations in this regard.” The SPLA, for its part, affirms its support for JMG Partners and its desire to participate in the dialogue process.
Industrialists who renounce the Portes du Tarn
And the SPLA confirms that if negotiations took place, it is because industrialists left the gates of the Tarn after the stoppage of work requested by the courts. It was therefore necessary react and discuss with the associations confirms the general manager of the local public development company.
The silence of the President of the Tarn Department
A file that greatly annoys the president of the Tarn department. Terra 2 is a thorn in the side of the president of the department who remains strangely silent on the file. A silence that can perhaps be explained by increasingly important dissensions in the departmental majority by Christophe Ramond on the subject of Terra 2. However, the associations could ask, prior to their participation in the negotiations on the future of the site, its position and its participation in the meetings.
