Lugo, 11 September 2026
The President of the Xunta, Alfonso Rueda, accompanied by the Regional Minister for Economy and Industry, María Jesús Lorenzana, highlighted today that the development of nearly 12 million square metres of new industrial land by 2030 will enable existing companies to expand and attract new businesses seeking to establish themselves in Galicia. Total investment in this initiative will amount to more than €440 million.
He made these remarks this morning during the inauguration of three new expansion phases at the As Gándaras Business Park in Lugo. During the event, he stressed that, through this initiative, the Galician Government aims to respond to and provide solutions for private enterprise, capitalising on “the dynamism Galicia currently enjoys” and on opportunities “that we must not let pass”, always “in compliance with the rules”. In this regard, he noted that “there is a great deal of talent throughout Galicia, including in Lugo”, and that where there is talent, “there is generally entrepreneurial initiative”.
According to the President, “where demand is generated, it must be met swiftly”. He therefore underlined that this commitment to industrial land will mean making more square metres available in the coming years than have been developed since Xestión do Solo de Galicia (Xestur) was established in the 1980s. Specifically, from its founding until just over a year ago, Xestur had developed 11.4 million square metres; now, with 2030 in sight, a further 11.7 million square metres will be developed.
This policy is complemented by other measures aimed at ensuring that these plots are effectively occupied. Among other incentives, Rueda cited subsidised prices, the permanent public offering scheme, under which land that remains unsold is offered throughout the year, and direct allocation, a mechanism allowing this approach in legally provided cases for unique or strategic projects.
As Gándaras Business Park
The expansion inaugurated today at the As Gándaras Business Park comprises Phases IV, V and VII-A. It will provide almost 220,000 square metres of additional land, divided into 39 plots, 27 of which were awarded today. It should be recalled that the first three phases have already been completed and that no land remains available. Work is currently under way on Phases VI and VII-B, leaving only Phases VIII and IX still to be scheduled.
Overall, once the business park has been fully completed, it will cover more than 2 million square metres and total investment will amount to around €90 million.
Rueda stated that this initiative is “evidence of the city’s dynamism” and forms part of the Galician Government’s commitment to Lugo, alongside other significant investment in publicly promoted housing, with 615 homes currently under way in the city, and healthcare initiatives, such as the Sagrado Corazón Health Centre project, the refurbishment of the A Milagrosa Health Centre, and the extension of the IES Muralla Romana secondary school.
