What immediate economic impact did the delayed reopening of the Tenda Tunnel have on the Vermenagna Valley, and how does the €1 million in regional aid address this?

The Piedmont Region has allocated €1 million in non-repayable funds to support businesses in the Vermenagna Valley affected by the delayed reopening of the Tenda Tunnel, closed since 2020. This aid addresses the significant economic downturn impacting approximately 500 businesses, including restaurants, hotels, and shops, due to reduced tourism and trade. The funds will be distributed based on proximity to the tunnel, with Limone Piemonte receiving the most.
