The public commitment of the President of the Republic at the opening ceremony of the Pafos Innovation Institute on 30 October to the transfer of the historical Carobmills of Paphos to the municipal authority has already taken shape. The transfer from the state to the municipal authority took place as a first stage, the Municipality of Paphos then proceeded to clean up the historic buildings as a second step and now the citizens of Paphos are waiting for the third and most important step, which will be the exact form of their exploitation.
However, the procedures are moving at a very fast pace, since at the end of last November President Anastasiades' commitment that the Council of Ministers will decide to grant the historical space for Paphos, in order to benefit from the appropriate exploitation by the municipal authority, was implemented. Immediately, following this positive development, the Municipality of Paphos announced an invitation of interest for the removal of metal and other structures from the building complex of Charoymyla, located on Apostolos Pavlos Avenue, a process that was also implemented quickly.
Now, the next step will be the decisive one: The planning for the exploitation and promotion of the site, but until now has not formalized their future use, in addition to the assessment of the Mayor of Paphos himself that the Carobmills will not constitute another multi-cultural space, since the city now has the adequacy of such spaces.
