The creation of the Metropolitan Park of Western Nicosia in the area of the State Exhibition is progressing rapidly. The Mayor of Nicosia, Charalambos Prountzos, announced that the tripartite Committee (Government, Nicosia Municipality and CCCI) will meet in March to make decisions regarding the project. In addition, the EOA is ready to undertake the works of the rainwater retention ponds at the Exhibition and under the Nicosia Airport. The cost of the project is being updated and is expected to be included in the state budget, as it is an important flood prevention project for Engomi and Agios Domettios. At the same time, the feasibility study for SOPAZ is also progressing, paving the way for the implementation of the Metropolitan Park. A architectural competition for the landscaping of the area is planned, as well as the evaluation of the pavilions that will be preserved.
