Prountzos: Decisions for State Fair and SOPAZ to be Made in March

The Municipality of Nicosia is close to making decisions regarding the utilization of the State Fair area and the SOPAZ region. The completed study proposes the creation of a metropolitan park at the State Fair and an innovation zone at SOPAZ. The Mayor of Nicosia, Charalambos Prountzos, emphasized the need for a large green space in Western Nicosia and requested a funding of 2 million euros for the restoration of the Fair area. A three-member Committee is expected to convene by the Presidency of the Republic in March to review the study's findings and make final decisions. The study for SOPAZ includes a conference and exhibition center and incentives for investment. At the same time, rainwater retention basins are being promoted for flood protection and irrigation of the park.
