Director General of the Planning Administration, Rafi Elmaleh:
"The Planning Administration considers it very important to implement the government's decision to evacuate IDF camps in the center of the country in order to increase the supply of housing units in the center of the country. It is important to continue the trend of locating areas that are violated and designated for development or infrastructure facilities whose use is no longer essential , and this in order to exhaust the development within the urban space."
Center District Planner in the Planning Administration, Guy Kaplan:
"These are the last two complexes in the area of the Zrifin camp that pay for the planning of the skeleton plan as approved by the district committee and the national council, and great importance in approving the complexes and implementing the planning policy for the evacuation of the camps in the center of the country.
The plans are of great importance in the further development of the municipalities of Beer Ya'akov and Rishon Lezion.
The planning of the complexes was carried out from a broad planning point of view while providing an answer to the urban needs for employment and commercial areas for the economic strength of the authorities as well as for built and open public areas and providing appropriate solutions for public transportation, including the metro and light rail lines and based on quality public space.
The planning complexes in the area of the vacating Zerifin camp were determined in accordance with the skeleton plan of the camp as approved by the district committee and the national council for planning and construction.
The plans were drawn up by the office Kolker-Kolker Epstein Architects.
