In the neighborhood Health di Napoli the dream of having an exit of the Metropolitan it shut off abruptly. The financing by the government it was revoked:

«We take note of the progress monitoring of the construction of the Metro exit in the Sanità district, which shows the impossibility of achieving the objective. Therefore, the loan of 6,9 million euros is being revoked".

The amount withdrawn, 6,9 million, was part of “Plan for Naples”, a financial program signed in 2016 of 300 million euros for the development and cohesion of the city. However, bureaucratic problems have prevented the achievement of the objectives set and the funds have been, at the moment. withdrawn from the government.

More funding in jeopardy

The revocation of the funding for the Metro della Sanità station is not the only unused sum. Of the 309 million expected euros, only 100 were actually used. Still 205 million euros are waiting to be invested for the growth of Naples.

Not only the Metro della Sanità station, but many areas of the Metro are at a standstill, the project for the fast bus line is still to be planned, while the Parco della Marinella it advances very slowly, risking being hit by the same time limit that caused the withdrawal of funds for the Sanità metro station.

Can the funds be recovered?

The cancellation of the Metro exit at Sanità represents a failure for the city as well as a step backwards in the infrastructural development and in the tourist valorisation of the neighbourhood.

Perhaps hopes are not lost, the commissioner intervenes to reassure the citizens Cosenza:

"There have been bureaucratic problems, the project has not been cancelled, we will be able to recover that money"

Therefore, the project is not yet completely cancelled and there may be a hope of recover i funds revoked. We cannot, however, ignore what the document declares regarding the withdrawal of funds, but we hope it can be so.
