Orpesa registers the sole company formed in the Plana Alta, a tourist accommodation firm with 30,000 euros

The grant of the week for those starting out in farming

A tourist accommodation firm starts life in Orpesa with 30,000 euros. The Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil, the BORME, the Official Gazette of the Companies Register, published its incorporation on 24 September. Its 30,000 euros are share capital, the money the partners put in when founding the company, not its turnover. Its corporate purpose, the activity it will carry out, is non-hotel tourist accommodation, and it is the only new company registered in the comarca this week.
The Generalitat gives money directly to two associations, the advertising companies' one and the designers' one. The Regional Secretariat for Communication granted a direct grant to COMUNITAD, the association of Valencian advertising communication companies, and another to the Asociación de Diseñadores de la Comunitat Valenciana. Neither can be applied for: each association is named in its resolution.
Grants have been called for those starting out in farming. This week the Agencia Valenciana de Fomento y Garantía Agraria called the grants for young and new farmers to set up their holdings in the Comunitat Valenciana. Who can apply, the amount and the deadline are in the call for applications, the notice that opens the window to apply for a grant.

See on the map the CasasValue of any building in Castelló de la Plana or Almassora

The Plana Alta comarca adds three awarded contracts this week. Torreblanca knows who will regenerate the green space on Calle Carles Salvador and is reviewing the extension of its cemetery, Cabanes has picked a firm to renew its Plaza Constitución while the La Ribera padel court still accepts offers, and in Castelló de la Plana the Provincial Hospital is rebuilding its laboratory. Courts listed six properties for sale, four in Orpesa/Oropesa del Mar, one in Benicàssim/Benicasim and one in Cabanes, and Orpesa also sees the birth of a firm offering tourist lets. Benlloc is waiting to learn which firm gets the airport warehouse, Vilanova d'Alcolea which one gets Calle Joc de la Tella and Benicàssim which one refits its council chamber. Almassora, Borriol, Sant Joan de Moró, Vall d'Alba, Vilafamés, les Coves de Vinromà, la Pobla Tornesa, Sierra Engarcerán and la Torre d'en Doménec complete the comarca with no contracts, auctions or newly formed firms from 24 September to 1 October.
