Polis to be transformed by €141m projects

Projects worth €141 million are set to transform the Polis Chrysochous area in the coming years, said the mayor Yiotis Papachristofis. Among these developments is the €60m expansion of the harbour at Latchi, described as “one of the most important tourist hubs of the municipality”.

In an interview with CNA, Papachristofis spoke about several key projects, including the €45m sewerage system, the coastal road, the third phase of Latchi’s development, the redevelopment of the Polis and Prodromi centres, and the creation of an industrial zone. Numerous smaller projects are also planned.

He also mentioned the forthcoming upgrades to the old Port Authority warehouses in Latchi, which will be transformed into a Multipurpose Sea and Culture Centre. There is also work in the pipeline for the municipality’s archaeological sites and for landscaping the courtyards of the Town Hall and the old police station.

These initiatives, alongside the completion of the Paphos-Polis road, are expected to attract more investors and boost tourism in the region, said the mayor. On the subject of the Paphos-Polis road, Papachristofis stressed the importance of continuing pressuring the government and relevant authorities to avoid further delays.

“We will monitor the timetable for the second phase of the Paphos-Polis road and the connection to Mesogi closely,” he said.

“Since 2017, we’ve seen a total investment of €165 million in completed, ongoing, and planned projects within the Municipality of Polis Chrysochous. This significant expenditure points out our firm commitment to the area’s development and future prosperity”, Papachristofis concluded.
