What will you be financing?

While Odemira is the municipality with the largest territory in Portugal, its interior has one of the lowest population densities in Europe. The CLARA project aims to reverse these negative trends, through the restoration and reconstruction of a brick factory, which previously acted as an anchor for economic and social activity in the areaThe aim of the project is to give back to the population of thAlentejo region, where Odemira is located, transforming a derelict factory that once served as an economic and social anchor for the region into a Centre for Rural Future. CLARA is a collaborative workspace for research, training and innovation, promoting a creative environment where people live and work together for a specified period of time, stimulating the debate on local issues and encouraging the commitment of all involved. The loan will allow CLARA to turn this project into a reality. Also, it is backed by a co-financing contract from 'Turismo de Portugal', which is committed to refunding CLARA 50% of their expenses. In the first construction phase, it is necessary to install infrastructures and equipment to accommodate residents. The construction of the equipment is an architectural project and construction of the Collective Warehouse for CLARA. Partners of the project are Sustainable Construction Portal and the Circular Economy Portugal.
