The current research aims at discussing the manner of establishing of the mineral
dressing projects (Albrás, Alunorte, Pará Pigmentos and Imerys Rio Capim Caulim) have
impacted through the government finances of Barcarena, and how the municipality city hall
has allocated its resources to improve the local growth. These resources allocations have had
as reference their set-ups, within the Multi-Year Plan of Barcarena (2002-2005) made by the
team of the first management of the mayor Laurival Magno Cunha (2001-2004). The research
is structured within two timelines framework. Within the first, I aim at verifying the
municipalities before the mining projects assembling, since from the 70s and 80s, whereas the
municipality dynamic is analyzed from the population datum, economic and government
finances. Within the second timeline framework, I pursuit of inquiring about the municipality

studied from their contribution to the labor generation, citizenship projects investments and
environment whose have been realized, besides the municipality taxes paid by the firms.

struggles whereas their participation or not within the municipality set-ups management
