The Gandia City Council has granted the construction permit for the new Marina, a step that will allow the imminent start of work on this key infrastructure for the city's tourist and economic future.

The mayor of Gandia, José Manuel Prieto, announced that the Board of Directors of the Port Authority of Valencia (APV) has authorized the mortgage on the concession, thus ensuring the necessary financing for the project's execution. Prieto highlighted the importance of this announcement, described as "decisive" and "highly anticipated by the city and very necessary for our tourist destination," putting an end to years of blockage due to a legal dispute.
The council issued the permit in just 15 days from receiving the final required reports. The mayor emphasizes the infrastructure's economic impact, considering it "a boost" for the destination, "one of the most transcendental and capital projects" for Gandia. The Marina is expected to drive new opportunities, generate jobs, create wealth, and enhance the tourist offering with nautical and sports activities, aspects that have been lost in recent years.
The project, with a private investment of 10 million euros, will transform 1,440 square meters. The new facilities will be divided into three main volumes: an administrative and services area, a block for leisure, gastronomy, and dining, and a third space for complementary nautical services. The infrastructure will modernize the current dock and offer 268 moorings for boats between 6 and 20 meters in length, incorporating state-of-the-art technology. It will also host a rowing and sailing school.
A notable aspect of the design is that access will be completely free and public, removing barriers between the building and the promenade. It is estimated that the new Marina will create 50 direct jobs and over 200 indirect jobs. The mayor thanked the public-private partnerships and the work of the APV presidency, stating that it "settles a pending debt with the city."
This work is part of a broader blue economy strategy and port area regeneration, which, along with the recovery of the warehouses and the future CSIC research institute, will mobilize over 30 million euros. Construction is expected to begin with the dredging of the water area. Despite the local prohibition of works in July and August, an exceptional authorization has been processed to continue the work, as it is considered a project of general interest within the port precinct.
