The Mayor expressed great satisfaction with the commencement of construction for the new Indoor Training Centre-Gymnasium, stating:
"The need for modern sports facilities in our area is undeniable. I am very happy that during our term, we succeeded in promoting the construction of the largest sports project that has been undertaken in recent years on our island. We overcame difficulties, completed the study, achieved the inclusion of the project in a funding programme, put it out to tender and signed the construction contract.
Today, we are pleased to see the contractor ready to start the work with the placement of the project sign.
I hope that the project will be completed on schedule and that soon the children of Corfu and our other sports clubs will train in a modern space under the most appropriate conditions, where large events will also be hosted."
