ΤΟ ΕΜΠΟΡΙΚΟ ΚΕΝΤΡΟ ΣΤΟ ΛΙΜΑΝΙ ΤΗΣ ΚΑΒΑΛΑΣ
Ένα φιλόδοξο project στο λιμάνι της Καβάλας, που ήταν κολλημένο στα γρανάζια της γραφειοκρατίας, επί τρία χρόνια, φαίνεται, να ξεμπλοκάρει προκειμένου να ξεκινήσουν οι εργασίες υλοποίησης του.
Ο λόγος για το εμπορικό κέντρο Kavala Port Center, προϋπολογισμού 3 εκατ. ευρώ, που προωθεί η εταιρεία Γεωργούλιας ΑΕ, ως παραχωρησιούχος μέσω σχετικής σύμβασης διάρκειας 30 ετών που υπέγραψε με τον Οργανισμό Λιμένα Καβάλας.
«Μετά από καθυστερήσεις ετών αναμένουμε να εκδοθεί, σύντομα, το Προεδρικό Διάταγμα σχετικά με τις χερσαίες ζώνες του λιμένα. Εκτιμώ πως στις αρχές του 2019 θα είμαστε έτοιμοι για να ξεκινήσουμε τη δημιουργία του KPC, για το οποίο θα χρειαστούν οκτώ μήνες μέχρι την αποπεράτωσή του» αναφέρει, μιλώντας στη Voria.gr, ο πρόεδρος της Γεωργούλιας ΑΕ, Σωτήρης Γεωργούλιας.
Η περιοχή του KPC γειτνιάζει ανατολικά με το παράλιο ιστορικό τείχος και την συνοικία της Παναγίας, όπου βρίσκονται τα γνωστά μνημεία του Ιμαρέτ και του κάστρου της Καβάλας.
Διεκδικεί σημαντικό μερίδιο από την τουριστική πίτα
Το εμπορικό κέντρο που θα συνδυάζει χρήσεις εμπορίου, αναψυχής αλλά και υπηρεσίες για κρουαζιερόπλοια και υδροπλάνα θα κατασκευαστεί σε έκταση 6 στρμ. Το terminal για την κρουαζιέρα θα λειτουργεί εντός του κτιρίου, ενώ θα υπάρχει ειδική είσοδος για τους τουρίστες που θα περνούν προκειμένου να γίνει ο έλεγχος των εγγράφων τους.
Όπως εξηγεί ο κ. Γεωργούλιας «το Kavala Port Center θα καλύπτει όλες τις ανάγκες των καταναλωτών, καθώς θα φιλοξενεί εμπορικά καταστήματα, καταστήματα εστίασης, παιδότοπο, χώρους τόσο εντός όσο και εκτός για συναυλίες, κιόσκια και υπαίθριες δραστηριότητες καθώς και πάρκινγκ». O αριθμός των καταστημάτων θα καθοριστεί από το ενδιαφέρον που θα εκδηλωθεί για τη μίσθωση των χώρων. Το σημαντικό, δε, είναι πως η εν λόγω επένδυση θα εισφέρει 70 έως 90 νέες θέσεις εργασίας.
Το KPC, όπως χαρακτηριστικά αναφέρει η εταιρεία, έχει σχεδιαστεί για να καλύψει την αγορά της περιφέρειας Ανατολικής Μακεδονίας και Θράκης, ενώ αναμένεται να κερδίσει μεγάλο κομμάτι και από την πίτα των τουριστών που θα το προσεγγίζουν λόγω του στρατηγικού σημείου στο οποίο βρίσκεται. Είναι αξιοσημείωτο πως κάθε χρόνο καταγράφεται αύξηση της τουριστικής κίνησης στην Καβάλα από Βουλγαρία, Ρουμανία, Σερβία και ιδιαίτερα από Τουρκία.
Σημειώνεται πως, σήμερα, την περιοχή που θα βρίσκεται το εμπορικό κέντρο προσεγγίζουν περισσότερα από 1.000 τουριστικά λεωφορεία το έτος, ενώ καταγράφονται ετησίως πάνω από 100.000 προσεγγίσεις στον παρακείμενο χώρο στάθμευσης. Συνολικά, σήμερα, πριν την κατασκευή του εμπορικού πάρκου, τον χώρο εκτιμάται πως επισκέπτονται περισσότεροι από 700.000 άτομα.

Hockney painting breaks auction record for living artist
A celebrated painting by British artist David Hockney has been sold at Christie's in New York for just over $90m (£70m) - an auction record for a work by a living artist.
Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures) had been forecast to fetch $80m.
It sold following a 10-minute battle between two rival bidders via telephone, after the price passed $70m.
The sale eclipsed the previous record held by US artist Jeff Koons.
His stainless steel Balloon Dog (Orange) sold for $58m in 2013.
The packed sales room in New York broke into applause when the hammer fell, with the buyer's premium and commission taking the final price to $90.3m.
Christie's did not name either the seller or the successful bidder.
The Hockney work was painted in 1972 and is one of the Yorkshire artist's most recognisable works.
The composition of the two figures began as two separate photographs on the artist's studio floor and was completed in time for an exhibition at New York's André Emmerich Gallery in 1972.
Christie's described it as "one of the great masterpieces of the modern era".
Earlier this year, another of the 81-year-old's paintings sold for $28.5m - a personal auction record for the artist.

Britney, Justin And Christina Join Mickey Mouse Club
1993Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling join J.C. Chasez and Keri Russell in the cast of The All-New Mickey Mouse Club.
The original Mickey Mouse Club ran from 1955-1959 and produced a teen star in Annette Funicello. The series was revived in 1977 and again in 1989 as The All-New Mickey Mouse Club, airing on The Disney Channel. Chasez and Russell join for Season 4, and two years later, Spears, Timberlake, Aguilera and Gosling come on board.
Each episode features lots of singing and dancing, often to a contemporary hit, and some goofy, G-rated skits.
Spears, Aguilera and Timberlake are all 12 years old, but this isn't their first rodeo: All three were on Star Search, a show that also featured before-they-were-famous Destiny's Child, Rosie O'Donnell, Backstreet Boys, Dave Chappelle, Tori Kelly and Alanis Morissette.
Aguilera gets a lot of big ballads to show off her outsized voice, while Spears and Timberlake show their star power with eye-catching dance moves. All three return for Season 7, then spend the next few years in a bunker preparing for world domination (we don't know this for sure). Timberlake is the first to emerge, joining Chasez in the powerhouse boy band *NSYNC, whose 1997 debut album sells over 10 million copies and makes them a sensation. Spears follows in 1998 with her debut single "...Baby One More Time," where she sports a schoolgirl look that makes her one of the most popular search terms on this new thing called The Internet. Aguilera's self-titled debut album comes in 1999 and makes a huge impact with the hit singles "Genie in a Bottle" and "What a Girl Wants."
Spears and Timberlake have a love connection, but go though a nasty split that gives Justin inspiration for one of his first solo hits, "Cry Me A River."
