US Helps Construction of Access Road to Grgurevci Industrial Zone

Construction of a new, paved access road to Grgurevci Industrial Zone will begin on Tuesday, October 4, 2005. This project is made possible by the American people through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The construction of the access road is part of Community Revitalization through Democratic Action (CRDA) program, which is implemented in Western Serbia by International Relief and Development (IRD).

The road connects the Grgurevci Industrial Zone with the main road. It will be 340 meters long and 3 meters wide. Once completed, it will enable proper access and sufficient capacity for heavy vehicles using the services of four companies operating within the Industrial Zone.

The main economic activities of the companies operating within the Industrial Zone in Grgurevci, Municipality Sremska Mitrovica, are transportation, storage, and processing of various grains and raw materials related to agriculture. Businesses and farmers using the currently unpaved road are facing lack of access, additional costs due to slow access, and damage to vehicles, in rain and winter conditions. This causes low productivity and efficiency, particularly in the harvest seasons when there are many goods, materials, and ag crops to handle.

The wider, paved road will increase productivity of the four companies in the Industrial Zone and create at least 18 new jobs. Because 90% of the economic activity in Grgurevci is agriculture, the road will have positive effect on economic revitalization of this area.

Total cost of this project is expected to be over $55,900, of which USAID will provide $41,500. The remainder will be provided by the Municipality Sremska Mitrovica. Company Putinzenjering from Indjija was selected as the contractor for the works through a public tendering process. Estimated completion time is 21 days.

SAD pomažu izgradnju pristupnog puta industrijskoj zoni u Grgurevcima

Izgradnja novog asfaltiranog pristupnog puta industrijskoj zoni u Grgurevcima počeće u utorak, 4. oktobra 2005. godine. Izgradnju puta omogućio je američki narod kroz Američku agenciju za međunarodni razvoj (USAID) koja finansira Program revitalizacija zajednice putem demokratske akcije (CRDA). U zapadnoj Srbiji CRDA program sprovodi organizacija IRD.

Pristupni put povezuje industrijsku zonu u Grgurevcima sa glavnim putem i biće dug 340 metara a širok 3 metra. Novi asfaltirani put će omogućiti lakši pristup kamionima i vozilima većeg kapaciteta i tako pomoći produktivnost četiri kompanije koje rade u okviru industrijske zone.

Glavne ekonomske akltivnosti kompanija koje se nalaze u okviru industrijske zone u Grgurevcima, opština Sremska Mitrovica, su transport, skladištenje i prerada raznih vrsta žitarica i drugih poljoprivrednih proizvoda. Poljoprivrednici i preduzetnici koji trenutno koriste ovaj put susreću se sa problemima kao što su povećanje potrošnje goriva usled lošeg pristupa, oštećenja na vozilima posebno u kišnim danima i zimskom periodu, i slično. Ovo dalje utiče na slabu produktivnost i efikasnost, posebno u vreme žetve kada je povećana aktivnost prevoza dobara do industrijske zone.

Širi i asfaltirani put će povećati produktivnost četiri kompanije u okviru industrijske zone i iniciraće otvaranje 18 novih radnih mesta. Pošto je 90% ekonomskih aktivnosti u Grgurevcima povezano sa poljoprivredom, ovaj put će imati pozitivan efekat i na ekonomsku revitalizaciju celog kraja.

Ukupna planirana vrednost projekta je preko 55.900 američkih dolara, od čega će USAID obezbediti preko 41.500 dolara. Ostatak sredstava obezbediće opština Sremska Mitrovica. Za izvođača radova preko javnog tendera odabrana je kompanija „Putinženjering“ iz Inđije, a očekuje se da će radovi trajati 21 dan.
