Airport pressures housing in Coruche

The Coruche City Council is developing a housing strategy to address needs arising from the new airport's construction. Mayor Nuno Azevedo emphasized the importance of land availability for housing and economic activities. The strategy will extend beyond Coruche to include surrounding parishes, adapting to varying impacts from the airport. A study indicates increased pressure on Coruche and nearby municipalities. The council aims to invest in affordable housing solutions, currently focusing on rehabilitating 16 units. Concerns were raised about the urgency of a municipal strategy due to rising prices and limited housing supply. The mayor requested more time to finalize the strategy and provide concrete details.
