The Municipal Council accepted the purchase of Zep’s house for 21.5 million francs. A purchase already contested by The Center, which reserves the right to launch a referendum. The municipal councilor of the Center, Anne Carron, was the guest of Béatrice Rul, on Radio Lac, at 7:30 a.m.
The Municipality has just voted to purchase the ZEP house for 21.5 million francs. You want to draw a line under this great purchase!
“We are opposed to the purchase of this estate, at a cost of 22 million francs which does not include the necessary transformation costs nor current maintenance costs. The use of the residence and the land is not not specified. The ideas put forward for the use of this residence seem doubtful. So no!
“The house is classified (…) It cannot be brought up to standard for public use”
This house is an 18th century building, in Charmilles, on land of 34,000m2, with swimming pool, vineyards, forest and a vast meadow. Above all, it is a rare opportunity to buy land in the city to give it back to the population… Some even talk about La Grange park on the Right Bank…
“It’s a dream but you should know that the house is classified. It cannot be brought up to standard for public use. The garden is also protected. It is also on a slope. It does not lend itself very well to use as a park public to the standard that we know in the city of Geneva The use that we will make of it for the moment is doubtful and is not specified. It is more a bet on the future that we would make by purchasing. this property we are told about inns. youth, an eco-crèche All this is very good but ultimately it’s a little vague for us.
The Cité de la Musique, the Mont-Blanc footbridge, now this redemption. All these projects have been rejected or contested and the City can no longer do anything without obstructions from all sides…
“Yes, but perhaps projects that are a little less pharaonic. We beautify the city, we green it at a lower cost. The municipal authorities are constantly taking it up, we vote on many projects to improve the quality of life of the population in the city”
