Was held in the Town Hall at Asiago last January 23 the Press Conference by mayors of Asiago and Gallium to take stock of the project "Melette" both in terms of the progress of the work that private initiative of widespread shareholder base for the acquisition of the company present Melette 2000. Few changes emerged than always punctually reported by this newspaper, as it has illustrated the project, work situation and predictions about the future performance of the same, as well as made the point of collecting subscriptions.
More than anything showed confidence in the successful conclusion of the latter.

"The administrations – began the Mayor of Asiago – have created an investment from which they expect significant consequences throughout the plateau, especially the central basin formed by the municipalities of Asiago, Gallium and Roana. What we want is basically achieve the goal of revival and development of Melette, but above all to economic sustainability of the whole territory, because the benefits that these investments produce come to essentially economic in determining nor quantified. The works were awarded and are under construction, and we aim to reopen the territory for the next winter season. "

For his part, the Mayor of Gallium Emanuele Munari recalled how the Melette historically have been important for the plateau in General, and how over the years 80, 90 and early 2000 have represented an important flywheel for the economy winter, not only a vast swath of territory. "We expect with this strong investment- said to return this area to its former glory once, rather to improve those standards in winter, but even in summer. The name Melette is still recognized with nostalgia by many people".

Roberto Rigoni Stern also recalled as starting from the acquisition of 8 million euros of investment funds former Odi, pre-programmed has succeeded with a further round of funding to bring in almost 24 million euros . "We believe this project in collaboration between municipalities – he added- may lead to a real breakthrough in everything that is the investment plan aimed at reviving the territory".

The architect Donatella Maina, who heads the Technical Department of Asiago, presented a brief lineup of the works, which are divided into three lots: lot 2 (Busafonda-six-seater chairlift to medium Meletta canopy), on lot 3 (Busafonda – Val Marie, chairlift fixed coupling) and lot 4 (road navigation, parking management and realization of the bridge-crossing track); the expectation is that such fall 2018 should be all complete in order to start with the next winter season.

The word was passed then to the promoters of popular subscription for the new company, which explained how when there are more than 200 accessions and how it is practically ready the preliminary to the acquisition of full ownership of Melette Marchesi family. "At present – specified Mario P, promoter of the initiative with Mario Gable and Paolo Rigoni - we arrived to a subscription of 2,150,000 euros. The result of 3 million euros is coming, we are so close to the goal and who asks us what we will do if we fail to reach it we answer that in any case we will not back down, so the solution will find it. Let's say hopefully it gets a few more local investor saw that lack at the moment its most important entrepreneurs. Among these, the real estate agencies that are supposed to be the first affected, and we hope to fill the small gap that we have left. "

Mario Gable also wanted to reiterate how the project Melette is a combination that brings together the need to purchase a company that for the past couple of years has stopped for various reasons the management of the area, and perhaps unrepeatable opportunity that comes from public funds made or crafted by former Odi: 10 million euros for goods which remain the property of the public, but will be granted in concession of use to society that is then awarded the concession.
"If this operation had been necessary 13 million euros, would not have been possible to do with the widespread shareholder base, but in this case the share ownership is called to give assistance for 3 million euros, having benefits then for more 10. This is the great benefit that must be acknowledged by those who still is hesitant or is not convinced of the certainty that the next season will be brought to fulfillment the work from both sides to get to the reopening. There is still a small step, but we think we can begin the final phase of the so-called closing to take home actually the management of the company. "

Mario P also pointed out how it intends to open already for summer huts, for obvious interests both professionally and for promotion, while Gable added that, after this first step, efforts will be focused on the absolute need to begin to think for the certainty of snow-making. "For the economy of the countries it is essential to have adequate facilities for winter, he added. - You criticize the lifts saying that do not produce income, it is true that do not produce income, or used to produce little, but let us not forget that 1 euro parameter that passes for the lifts they laid other 8 on the territory. It takes the installations and if there is no snow to be done".

"The administrations – said at the conclusion of the meeting Emanuele Munari – are anxious to learn of the closing, because eventually they will have a serious and reliable partner with whom dialogue and program. Now it would be the last straw that entrepreneurial incapacity of the party was the public part to handle installations, for which I hope and trust that the economic fabric, individual citizens, many tourists, the real-estate agents can get a hand on conscience and contribute to project closure of share ownership, which would confirm as a historical fact for the plateau, giving us even to this great source of pride".
