The intention of City Council and Provincial Council materializing a conference center on port land will allow the creation of a business cluster next to the relaunched Panoramis and the future enclosure of Digital District at Pier 5. It also seeks to put Alicante “at the head” in the congress circuit with a construction that differentiates it from Palma de Mallorca or Malaga, because the ultimate goal is for the city to win a space that people from Alicante also enjoy.
The study that Urbanism commissioned at the University of Alicante at the time discarded the locations of the Flour and Sangueta to finally opt for the Port.
Now, after last Friday the mayor Barcala and the president of the provincial institution Carlos Mazon, they will deliver a draft to the Port Authority With the master lines of the project, the ball is in the Port Authority that will make the “necessary effort” to make it a reality as soon as possible, aware of the importance for the future of the city “and despite the fact that a “long” processing.
The first step is for the Port Authority to establish the Delimitation of Port Spaces and Uses (DEUP) that must be approved by Puertos del Estado. Afterwards, he will propose the specific modification of the Special plan, which, in this case, will have to be approved by the Generalitat.
For its part, Urban Planning Department and the Department of Infrastructures of the Provincial Council, will have to meet to draw up a list of conditions to enter a contest. The idea is a service contract with a subjective “important” party with a jury choosing the best proposal for various designs to be submitted.
