The Federation of Byblos-Jbeil Municipalities prides itself on having Mr. Fadi Martinos as its President. In addition to being the Mayor of the Municpality of Qartaba, Martinos is a high profile businessman who maintains positive and fruitful relations with the mayors of the municipalities that belong to the federation.
A true front-runner and executive, a distinguishing and notable trait about Martinos is the fact that he is not a boastful leader. He makes calculated and well thought out plans for the betterment of his federation and municipality while maintaining a humble and low profile approach to the prideful work he undertakes.
New location; new outlook
With a new and impressive location in the heart of the Byblos souks, the federation building is underway and close to completion. Located alongside several governmental and municipal institutions within the Souks, the building is distinguished by its glass exterior and architectural exquisiteness.
With a new cosmetic appeal, Martinos is keen on broadening the scope of the federation’s projects to include heavier international relations and cooperation for bilateral agreements with several foreign municipalities. Deeper involvement with the youth and mutual arrangements with several universities are also planned for the near future.
Public policy remains at the core of the Federation’s work, whose fundamental concern is the need to energize certain vital sectors for the cities and villages within the federation, particularly in terms of tourism, the environment, heritage and culture. An effective and successful plan to resolve the waste crisis is already in full swing, and through the effective involvement of the civic community, other pressing areas can also be tackled.
