PARLIAMENTARY FRONT
Senator Zequinha Marinho (PA), president of the Mixed Parliamentary Front of Authorized Railways, has already been in Vitória since Tuesday (14) to participate in the public hearing, when he will talk about the importance of the new national railway landmark for redimensioning the Brazilian railway network, which for 100 years has had the same 30,000 kilometers, of which less than 50% are operating.
Throughout the day, the senator had meetings with executives of the Petrocity Group at the company's headquarters in Vitória, on Nossa Senhora da Penha Avenue, and learned details of the progress of the enterprise, which will be announced at the public hearing by CEO José Roberto Barbosa da Silva.
"The two main railways of our mesh already have a Declaration of Public Utility for expropriation of the domain strip and the other two are being refined to also receive expropriation authorization. We will start our works in mid-2026," Barbosa assured.
The first part of the hearing, after the presentation of the president of Petrocity, will be concluded by the deputy governor and secretary of state for Economic Development, Ricardo Ferraço, and by Governor Renato Casagrande, followed by the debate and referrals.
