Background to the operation
Since being involved in Ono City's city promotion work in 2013, Enge Nagoya has been interacting with Ono City and the surrounding area through participation in local events.
In 2017, Ono City invited applications for candidates to become the designated management planner for a new roadside station, and we applied because we could utilize our expertise in the maintenance and operation of highways and rest facilities. The station was subsequently selected as a prospective designated manager, and preparations were carried out in an integrated manner from the design stage until the station was officially designated as a designated manager in September 2020.
After the station opens, we will operate and manage the regional development facilities, road management facilities and parking lots of the roadside station.
