City's Book Itapecerica da Serra - SP 2021-22

INTERVIEW
Do you consider Itapecerica da Serra a friendly city for
investors and entrepreneurs to do business? What can we highlight in the
municipality in this regard?
Yes, I do. And whenever I have the opportunity
to point this out, I do it with great awareness
that we have a real underexploited treasure. But,
unfortunately, our region was seen as a dormitory
city for a long time, which greatly affected our
economy.
A city without attractions, tourism, and culture
is deprived of important tools for the movement of
people within the city.
We aim to invest in tourism and culture, expanding
the range of possibilities for our local traders, showing
them that is the way we can increase the earnings of
those who have invested or are willing to invest in
Itapecerica da Serra. As for the industries, we facilitate
the conditions for those who intend to settle in our city.
We want to bring large projects, and we will spare no
effort to support the entrepreneur who wants to bring
jobs and do excellent business in our region.
How do you assess the impacts
of the pandemic in Itapecerica da Serra? Did
the pandemic influence any specific area? If so,
what actions were taken to mitigate the impact?
We believe that the pandemic has brought losses
to all of us. I believe that somehow, we were all
harmed. I see jobs being lost, commerce falling,
families suffering. To highlight an area would be to
commit injustices to those who suffer today.
At the beginning of the year, we reached the worst
phase of the pandemic. Even with the most critical
stages, we sought to make commerce more flexible
in partnership with the Commercial Association,
Chamber of Entrepreneurs, and Itapecerica
Shopping. Our city needed to breathe financially,
and together we developed a palliative solution so
that we wouldn’t be entirely out of breath.
I should also emphasize the work of our
administration, which quickly and efficiently
rescued the Work Front (abandoned by the past
administration), creating jobs for hundreds of people
in the second month of our administration.
We know that this is still not close to what we can
do, but we managed to develop it so that our city
would not remain in the chaos we found.
