Il Cittadino: Permit obtained as Milan will fence off San Francesco area next month

AC Milan continue to take steps forward in their pursuit of building a new stadium in the San Donato area. The Program Agreement is on the cards, a timeline has been established and fencing of the area will begin next month, a report claims. 

The Lombardy Region recently approved the request for a Program Agreement, which was a big step forward, and that process should take 1-1.5 years. It will involve all the affected authorities and issues such as transportation will be discussed (and solved).

According to Il Cittadino this morning, as cited by MilanNews, Milan have now also obtained the permit from the Autostrade company regarding the fencing of the area. Some of it falls within the ‘buffer zone’, hence why a permit was needed in the first place.

SportLifeCity, the company which owns the San Francesco land and is controlled by Milan, communicated this to the San Donato council. The agreement with the company that will take care of the fencing will also be signed this week, while work will start in August and should take three weeks.

It’s a pretty big project as ‘rigid metal fences’ will be put up in ‘a perimeter of approximately 1,500 meters’. These will have concrete bases and will be two and a half meters high.

  1. SempreMilan – thanks for these updates on the San Donato, as I find them really useful in keeping us up to date on this long and several-tiered process of building Our new home 👌🏽

  2. Seems like a prime location near freeways. Will also provide an economic boom for the local area. Good spot. Let’s go!

  3. the mayor was trying to entice them with a sale of san siro; time up! no one should be fooled, no future with san siro and goodluck to ac milan.

  4. I agree that (only) in the context of modern football we need to move, but anyone NOT lamenting the loss of San Siro has obviously never been.

    If you can, do so, before it’s gone.
