Its shareholders comprise various public entities, including the Municipality of Imola, the Metropolitan City of Bologna, and the Province of Forlì-Cesena. A significant expansion occurred in 2017 with the incorporation of Benicomuni s.r.l., a company specializing in public asset management. This broadened Area Blu's services to encompass the design, contracting, construction management, and maintenance of public infrastructure, urban and suburban mobility services (including parking management and road safety), and public asset enhancement (cultural heritage, institutional buildings, public residential buildings). With a workforce exceeding 100 employees and a turnover of approximately €18 million, Area Blu functions as an operational instrument for its shareholder entities, delivering professional, innovative, and dependable solutions for local public policy requirements and asset development.[/description][ps]Public infrastructure development and maintenance; Urban and suburban mobility services; Public asset management and enhancement[/ps]
