MUNICIPAL ENTERPRISES
(Ä.Å.Õ.Á.Â.)
The company of Water-Supply and Drainage was recently founded.
So far it has been activated in the waste water treatment plant of
Vathi.
Samian Market up to 1999 was a purely municipal enterprise of the
City of Samos.
Presently Samian Market activates in many segments in the area of
development and the social sector, however it remains financially
independent. Some of its’ present projects include:
The purchase of a site near the bus station of Samos town, in order to
construct a three-storey car park, thus contributing to the solution
of the parking problem, which is a serious problem the city is facing.
The site has already been acquired and the whole project is at the
stage of the technical and economic investigation and the enrolment of
the project in the governments’ development law. There is also a plan
for the relocation of the open grocery market, which presently
operates next to the church of Agios Spyridonas, at the ground floor
of the garage.
As far as the touristic projection is concerned, Samian Market took
the initiative for further projecting of our municipality. One of the
specific actions taken was the leasing of a train that operates for a
second consecutive year. This train is beloved both by our follow
citizens and tourists because it offers the opportunity for a unique
tour in Samos Town. Another action was the organization of several
concerts of well-known artists covering a wide spectrum of music
preferences. Samian Market organized two concerts in 2001 (Vasilis
Lekkas and “Music Waves”) while 2002 included the concerts of Christos
Nikolopoulos (2nd of August), of Claudia Del Mer (in 31st of August)
and of Giannis Mitsias in September. Another artistic event organized
was the theatrical performance of Giannis Morjos and his theatrical
company that took place in the theater of Agios Ioannis on the 28th of
August.
Moreover Samian Market is one of the basic financial contributors
to the “Wine Festival” that takes place every summer. In addition to
that, it coordinated the celebration of Easter 2002 which was
broadcasted allover Greece by ET3.
Yet another project Samian Market undertook is “Help at Home”. This
program aims to providing medical care and social support to elder
citizens both in cooperation with ÊÁÐÇ and through visiting
individuals that need some kind of help and support at their homes.
Finally Samian Market accepted the proposal of materializing a similar
project at the island of Fourni.
