Rejection of Asphalt Plants in Vasilikos Due to Environmental Concerns
October 29, 2024
The Environmental Authority has rejected the construction of two additional asphalt plants in Vasilikos, citing nine reasons related to the environmental burden on the area. This decision follows a positive opinion for another asphalt concrete production unit, but it emphasizes that the additional infrastructure would lead to significant negative environmental impacts. The Authority will reassess its decision when environmental conditions improve. Local authorities and the public have been informed about the implications of the proposed projects.
