Summary
The issue reports a signed agreement between the Environment Ministry and the Municipality for public-space upgrades worth 200,000,000 drachmas (ETERPS), complementing prior DEPO works funded by the Second Delors Package. Projects include lighting, stone paving, masonry, retaining walls, parking areas, and restoration of traditional fountains. Parallel concern is voiced about illegal alterations that distort Dimitsana’s vernacular architecture—aluminum, plaster, and roofs without tiles—urging immediate municipal enforcement and adherence to Architectural Committee standards. The core message: development must respect tradition.
