Incentives from the Puglia Region

Both notices provide that the beneficiary must complete the investment within 12 months of the provisional grant of the facilitation. Naturally, the lockdown prevented the carrying out of the activities necessary for the conclusion so that all beneficiaries whose deadline for the conclusion of the investment falls in 2020 is granted an extension of the same duration of the state of emergency declared by the Government (currently 6 months ) which constitutes the cause of force majeure necessary for the extension. Should the state of emergency be extended, the extension will automatically be extended. (AD AOO_158 / 310 of 16 April 2020)
