New prospects for the development of the local economy are created by the Chania Business Park, a project supported by the Cooperative Bank of Chania which is due to be completed shortly. In an announcement on 4th August, the Athens-based consultancy Redeplan, which is managing the project, expressed its satisfaction with the progress of the undertaking, noting that “it is reaching the end of its course, to be placed at the disposal of the market, of industry and the supply chain, after many years of intense effort by many contributors and organisations which took part in its planning and execution.”
