By the end of 2016 the project on the creation of a new city center around Panepistimiou Street is to be completed.
It is an ambitious project which is to be funded with 90 million euros from the regional development program of the Attica prefecture as well as from the Operational Program, Environment-Sustainable Development by the Ministry of Environment.
Studies funded by the Onassis Foundation will be completed within the autumn, and auction procedures will begin in early 2014 given that the Attiko Metro can also begin developing the tram network expansion.
Development Minister, Kostis Hatzidakis, said a special team headed by the Attiko Metro President, Christos Tsitouras, has been formed which will be tasked with solving all procedural issues.
According to the timetable publicized from the June 3 meeting, the renovation project will begin in June 2014 and is expected to be completed within 2016.
