MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE FOR THE PRODUCTION SECTOR
EXECUTIVE PRESIDENT AT THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ELECTRONIC PRODUCT MANUFACTURERS (ELETROS)
With party conventions defining candidates for mayor and city council members, the electoral race is accelerating, and the population is starting to focus on the proposals. However, historically, agendas on the economy, business environment and job creation are not always prioritized by candidates.
This is a paradigm that needs to be changed. After all, companies are intrinsically linked to municipalities, and their jobs help maintain the local economy. Municipal administrations are responsible for creating and maintaining a favorable environment for industry, commerce and services.
It is imperative that candidates for mayor and city council commit to an agenda focused on the productive sector, focusing on streamlining and simplifying processes, simplifying the opening and operation of companies, reducing bureaucracy and accelerating licensing.
Professional training and job creation should also be priority topics, including training programs and partnerships with educational institutions. These are fundamental initiatives for qualifying the local workforce.
The Municipal Master Plan is essential for urban development and has a direct impact on business. It organizes land use, defining zones for specific activities, which helps entrepreneurs choose suitable locations, guiding the expansion of urban infrastructure, and benefiting companies with efficient services.
The quality of life in cities and sustainable economic development depend on the decisions of municipal leaders. Therefore, it is very important that commitments to this topic are made during the electoral process.
