My comment:

They mean that the news of Vale's arrival to the place was advertised, publicised, talked about (most likely as a result of marketing, but in this case it is not simply marketed), as a huge local economic development factor.

My references:

I am Brazilian, have worked in Brazil many years and know the aura do Vale your text refers to and have written a thesis on sustainability and development.
