Nice Port Residents Debate the New Conference Centre

Locals in the Port are wary about the new conference centre. A resident's meeting allowed locals to bring up their concerns about the building of a 28,000sqm spectacular sea front centre. Some expressed skepticism at the aggressive schedule, starting next February and to be completed by June 2025, in just over a year. Others complained they haven't seen the environmental impact report before the project gets the green light. The previous socialist leader vows, however, to disrupt the works as much as possible. He plans with his colleagues to start protests, petitions, and any other means possible to cause problems. He admits he won't be able to stop the project but hopes to delay it by a couple of months, presumably so Nice misses the ability to host the UN Summit on how to protect the oceans. Personally I think the project looks great, and a good use of a redundant car park since the new multi-story underground parking was opened right next door. It will certainly bring added prestige to Nice, and a nice international clientele to the restaurants nearby.
