Spanish term or phrase: promotor
Would this be "developer"? "Promoter"? Solid references would be greatly appreciated.

"Como promotor inicial de la reconversión [de un polígono industrial en un polígono industrial ecológico] se encontraba el ayuntamiento de Santa Perpètua. El ayuntamiento nombró a una persona (en este caso un organismo, Patronat Granja Soldevila) como dinamizadora del Polígono Industrial Ecológico (PIE)."

I think your doubt is well-founded, in this particular instance
Explanation:
(reconversion of property/ infrastructure) it would be a developer, particularly if it had a financial stake in the project and a lucrative interest in its results. However, if it only awarded the development contract (as some municipalities do), it would be a promoter (in the sense of sponsoring the project).
