New police station: reconsider the Banca d'Italia building renovation project, better to build a new one - La Voce Apuana

Last week we read several press articles about the police moving into the former Italian Bank building and the government's allocation of funds to renovate the building. The amount is around 18 million euros, while we do not know how much of this will be allocated to Massa and how much to the city of Arezzo," said a statement from Europe of the Future.

"We agree with the creation of a new structure, since the existing building no longer meets the criteria for a safe workplace that protects the health and work of police officers and citizens seeking various services," points out the political force. "However, we are left in doubt as to whether it is really appropriate and necessary to redevelop a blighted building and whether it is an ideal location in the center of the city.

"In addition," the statement said, "we also have doubts about the choice of location in the city center, which will further lead to congestion, given that Massa is still one of the few cities in Italy through which the Aurelia runs, located just a few meters from the same building. We are therefore asking government officials and local and national policy makers to reconsider the project.".
