The Mayor of Limassol, Yiannis Armeftis, proposed to the Minister of Defense, Vasilis Palmas, in a recent meeting, the expansion of the Polemidia Forest Park (Agia Fyla) in the area of the Limassol Recruit Training Center (KEN), so that it could serve as the starting point for the Metropolitan Park of the wider Limassol area.

The Municipality of Kourion is promoting the creation of a Marine Aquarium and, in parallel, a Research Centre for Mediterranean Marine Life on the western side of the Akrotiri Municipal District, an ambitious project estimated to cost €10 million.

The new Technical School in Polemidia, which will replace the A’ Technical School of Limassol and will have almost double the capacity of the existing one (with the ability to accommodate 700 students), is expected to be completed around December of this year, the Director of Secondary Technical and Vocational Education, Dr. Elias Markatzis, told “Entrepreneurial Limassol”.

Proposals submitted by the Cyprus Centre for Environmental Research and Education (CYCERE) of the Holy Metropolis of Limassol received support of over 80%. These proposals call for the termination of the zoo’s operation and its transformation into a Biodiversity and Urban Environment Centre under the name “Nature”. The proposed centre will serve as an open green space for environmental education and active citizen participation.
