“Giving life to this new multifunctional structure suitable for carrying out sports activities, as well as regional and national events and related events – continues Sertori – is yet another demonstration of how much the Region wants to support territorial development in a concrete way”. “And in this case it does so through the instruments of regional negotiated planning,” he concludes.
The project proposal involves the construction of a new ‘Arena Cantù Next’ sports hall with approximately 5,100 seats, a training field with a playing field, an external ‘3 against 3’ field and finally a private car park for the exclusive use of athletes. In addition to the sports arena, the urban layout also includes a medium-sized sales building (2,400 square metres) and a building dedicated to catering/fast food (500 square metres); the two completion structures of the sports arena do not fall within the scope of the Agreement.
