The property spanning in a total area of 6,395 sq.m. will be properly redeveloped to be transformed from an abandoned property into a modern space for cultural, sports and educational activities.
According to the planning that has been done, the space will house restaurants for the needy, classrooms, a Social Grocery Store, an indoor basketball gym, as well as entertainment rooms.
The said concession of the use of the property had been decided by the previous government, but its implementation did not proceed immediately, due to legal and bureaucratic issues.
In order to overcome the remaining bureaucratic and legislative issues, a special provision is to be inserted in the bill on "Streamlining the insurance system", which is expected to be posted for public consultation in the coming days. The property is to be granted free of charge for use by EFKA to "Kivoto tou Kosmos", which will fully assume the cost of its upgrade (estimated at approximately 4 million euros). The property will be returned to EFKA after the end of the concession contract.
