Several years delay
The Ministry of the Interior says that construction is not expected to begin until 2023. The plan remains that the police should move in, but probably not until 2025. The reason for the delay is the necessary official procedures, the necessary agreement with neighbors and the current tense situation in the construction sector.
The main reason given for the sharp increase in costs was the development of construction prices. Overall, however, the costs and schedule are only a calculation that is currently being assumed due to current developments, the ministry emphasizes.
