The company “Lever – Development Consultants S.A.”, a member of the “Samaras & Partners” Group, is pleased to announce the successful completion of the **Operational Plan for the Integrated Territorial Investment (ITI) of Agrafa**, which was approved by the **Regional Council of Thessaly** during its session on **March 27, 2025**. This plan plays a crucial role in the development strategy of the **Municipalities of Argithea and Lake Plastiras**, mobilizing resources totaling **€38.5 million** for new infrastructure, outreach initiatives, and strengthening of local self-sufficiency.
The Agrafa ITI is a comprehensive strategic approach, structured around five main pillars:
- Urban redevelopment – Enhancing the aesthetic and functional quality of residential areas.
- Reuse of municipal buildings** – Repurposing existing buildings for new community-serving uses.
- Improved accessibility** – Upgrading and maintaining road infrastructure in mountainous areas.
- Support for local businesses** – Boosting the local economy and promoting entrepreneurship.
- Actions for climate resilience** – Implementing environmental protection measures and adapting to the effects of climate change.
The intervention area includes two mountainous regions with challenging terrain, significant accessibility issues, and demographic pressures such as aging and population decline. Despite these difficulties, the region possesses invaluable natural wealth, rare ecosystems, and a deeply rooted cultural heritage, all of which offer strong development potential.
With its extensive experience in **Strategic Development** and **Urban Planning**, **Lever – Development Consultants S.A.** remains committed to supporting initiatives that promote sustainable development and improve the quality of life in local communities.
