SUMMARY:

In recent years, the municipality of Pilar (AL) has been the

scene of significant socio-
spatial metamorphoses, consolidated by the local economy and
politics, responsible for the new
dynamics established after the rupture with the exclusively
agrarian structure, concentrated in
sugarcane production by the Terra Nova Plant. By means the
resources from royalties from
Petrobras' Gas Processing Unit (UPGN), investments are made
to promote local economic
development, the creation of the Banco da População Pilarense
(POP Bank) and the Card Br, a
card made available to the municipality servants to use in
associated stores in the municipality,
are examples of mechanisms aimed at supporting micro-
entrepreneurs. The tax policy adopted
by the municipal management has attracted industries from
various sectors, such as food and
chemicals, located in the industrial park on the margins of the
BR-316 highway, the municipal,
executive and legislative public power, composed largely of
individuals with some degree of
connection with the business sector, has positioned itself to
meet the demands of merchants,
through direct actions, such as the creation of the popular mall
and the granting of loans during 

the pandemic time. In Pilar, an important demographic change
can be observed, given the
working conditions, displacement and cost of living, there is a
tendency to settle and attract
population, characterizing a change in the migratory movement.
In addition, federal programs,
such as the Minha Casa Minha Vida Program (PMCMV), have
moved the production chain of
the civil construction industry, from the extraction of sand in the
Paraíba do Meio River to the
proliferation of local construction companies, contributing to the
growth of urban development
and the increase in property speculation. The trade, in frank
expansion, has made possible the
generation of employment and income, in a scene of deep state
intervention, from the offer of
professional qualification, of the credit assignment and public
financing, already the tourism,
is being valued with the new constructions, such as the cultural
space, and renovations, such as
the Santo Cruzeiro, the lakefront and Cine Pilarense, a small
convention center located in the
city center. It is clear that the economic and political transition
that is now taking place in the
municipality of Pilar is the result of constitutional transfers,
federal and state programs,
combined with municipal public management focused on local
development. In Pilar, some
works already finished and others in progress, denote the
ambition of the public administration,
the Educational and Sports Complex is the largest in the State,
the Hospital do Futuro, under
construction, will be the largest hospital ever built by a
municipality in Alagoas , and a cable
car, in the bidding phase, which will connect Santo Cruzeiro to
the lagoon shore, are examples
of the recent transformations that have taken place in Pilar that
have leveraged its
socioeconomic indicators.
