Official: Cardinale smiles as Program Agreement is initiated for Milan’s stadium project

After it was ‘approved’ by the San Donato council, AC Milan’s stadium project has now entered the Program Agreement phase. This was confirmed by the council in an official statement this afternoon and it is great news for the Rossoneri. 

In case you haven’t kept up with the latest developments, the technical committee of the San Donato council found no issues with Milan’s stadium project. The club also made amendments along the way, which helped accelerate the process, and the council had no objections to the project as a whole.

Now, as confirmed by a statement from the San Donato council (via Anto Vitiello), the Program Agreement has been requested for the project. Essentially, this involves the Lombardy region and other involved parties, with infrastructure set to be the main topic.

“This morning, the administration of San Donato formally sent the request to initiate the Program Agreement for the AC Milan stadium in the San Francesco area.

“The objective of the Program Agreement is to address all the strategic aspects to arrive at a plan for the construction of the stadium, overcoming the critical issues that the Administration itself has highlighted with the actions taken so far,” it read.
