Residents of Tucuruí, in southeastern Pará, are living in anticipation with the arrival of the new Usina da Paz in the municipality. The unit will be delivered by the State Government this Wednesday (23)
For the residents of the municipality, the arrival of the first Usina da Paz in the Tucuruí Lake Region will bring benefits to the population, as stated by physical education professional and resident, Tainana Damasceno. "Our municipality needs a Usina very much, because it will guarantee several benefits that the population needs. It will also take our youth off the streets, providing opportunities through courses that will be offered."
For resident Natália Dias, "the Usina da Paz is a project of great relevance, which will certainly contribute to the development of the population, the city of Tucuruí, and the entire region. We know that the project will bring various benefits and that the entire population will be widely benefited, in addition to the fact that these are free services, which is very important to generate a positive impact on our society," said the dentist.
Benefits - Located in the Nova Matinha neighborhood, the new state public facility will feature a modern and accessible structure, which will directly benefit over 96,000 local residents. Like the other units already delivered, more than 70 free services will also be offered in fundamental areas, contributing to the social transformation of thousands of families in health, education, citizenship, professional qualification, culture, sports, and leisure.
The new UsiPaz Tucuruí will have buildings equipped with rooms for medical and dental care, document issuance, vocational courses, and social assistance, as well as a multipurpose gym, swimming pool, open court, dance rooms, libraries, computer rooms, study and gastronomy rooms, multicultural square, theater, sewage treatment station, among other spaces.
"The Usina da Paz of Tucuruí arrives as a complete facility, which will guarantee rights, access to public policies, and opportunities for the youth and families of the city. We are very happy to deliver this modern space, built with care and attention to serve the population," said the State Secretary of Citizenship Articulation, Elieth Braga.
Usinas da Paz - The Usinas da Paz are citizenship complexes implemented by the State Government to promote social inclusion, reduce violence, and improve the quality of life of the population in vulnerable areas of the State. The project is part of the Territories for Peace program (TerPaz). Since 2021, with the delivery of the first Usina da Paz, the citizenship complexes have already guaranteed over 10.1 million services.
In the context of public safety, the Usinas also contribute to significant reductions in the rates of Intentional Violent Lethal Crimes (CVLI) in the areas where they are located, with percentages reaching a 90% decrease, indicating effectiveness in promoting public safety and improving quality of life.
