Near the Armilla Trade Fair, a gas station and a new Burger King

Residents living in the Armilla Trade Fair area have been watching for several weeks as two lots belonging to highly-respected vehicle dealers are being destroyed. This earth movement has an answer: Two new businesses will be established there.

Ideal was able to access information that indicated that two companies are behind the concessions of the land for commercial exploitation. Sources at the Armilla City council explain that the administrative process has been in place for over a year to allow both entities to settle near the Trade Fair.

According to the Armillero Consistory, it was March 18, 2013, when demolition licenses were requested for two buildings on two different lots. Also, in March, one of the two businesses, the fast-food company, had requested the license. The gas station, for its part, did not apply until August.

The licenses were issued and the process now entails that the businesses present all documentation required by Armilla City Council. They do not have any deadlines or dates, but they expect that in the metropolitan municipality the final projects will be completed in order to obtain the building license.

Sergio Baena from Armilla is the Town Planning Councilor. He expresses satisfaction that Armilla has once again shown "the ability to attract investment." He believes that Armilla has the infrastructure to facilitate economic activity, such as the Trade Fair, PTS, and the metropolitan.

Sergio Baena says, "We are happy because we believe that the opening of the service station as well as the restaurant will create jobs, wealth, and economic development." The area will now have three gas stations and three fast-food restaurants within a radius less than one kilometer.
