A significant step forward has been taken in Tiberias's first urban renewal project, with the final plan for the Bar Kochba complex being deposited with the Northern District Planning and Building Committee. This deposit follows a conditional approval nine months ago, after which all conditions set by the district committee for the developer, Aura company, have been met. The plan involves replacing seven existing residential buildings, containing 84 housing units, with six new high-rise buildings totaling 720 housing units. The renewed complex will also feature a school, kindergartens, a 2,000-square-meter commercial area, playgrounds, and green spaces. Mayor Yossi Nabeh praised the progress, calling it a significant sign of developer confidence in the city and pledging the municipality's continued efforts to remove obstacles for developers. He thanked the chairman of the district committee Boaz Yosef, city engineer Shani Eldan, and the director of urban renewal Amir Egozi. Nabeh also stated that the municipality is currently working on approximately 15 additional urban renewal complexes and structural reinforcements for about 6,100 housing units that do not meet earthquake resistance standards.
