In the area of the Conca d’oro shopping centre, in viale Lanza di Scalea, a new municipal swimming pool will be built as an alternative to the one in viale del Fante, which is about to close in June for renovation works with Pnrr funds. To build it – he reports LiveSicilia.it – will be the business group of Andrea Zamparini, son of the former president of Palermo, thanks to an agreement signed on 9 May 2009 between Immobiliare Malu Spa and the Municipality of Palermo.
Today, Monday 10 June, the council led by Roberto Lagalla, mayor of Palermo, approved the resolution signed by the councilors Alessandro Anello, Maurizio Carta and Giuliano Forzinetti which gives the green light to the construction of the tank inside a plant multi-purpose sports facility, in Fondo Patti, also including a gym and fields for various disciplines.
Below are the words of the mayor of Palermo: «The alternative solution found by the administration regarding the construction of a new swimming pool comes following a long and intense journey. We wanted to give an answer to the city and the sports clubs, at the same time as the works financed with Pnrr funds that are being carried out on the Viale del Fante facility. I thank the councilors involved and Andrea Zamparini’s company for the agreement reached which will allow the creation of a facility which, in addition to its strictly sporting value, also has an important social value for the city”.
«To build the new tank – adds Anello – according to the timetable drawn up by the engineers appointed by the Zamparini group, it will take one hundred days. A directive from the mayor with a priority character for reasons of public interest has already made it possible to accept the application for a permit to build in agreement presented to the municipal technical office by the technicians of the construction company”.
