The First Stone is laid at Paramount

 

Alhama de Murcia, Murcia, Spain. Thursday, May 31, 2012. 

S.A. (PREMURSA) achieved another milestone in the development of the Paramount theme park and LifeStyle  Center in Alhama de Murcia this morning, during a formal ceremony presided over by Ramón Luis Valcárcel, President of the Autonomous Community of Murcia; Joaquín Bascuñana, Delegate of the Government for the Region of Murcia; Alfonso Fernando Cerón, Mayor of the Town Hall of Alhama de Murcia; Michael Bartok, Executive Vice President of Paramount Licensing Inc.; and Jesús Samper, President and CEO of PREMURSA.

Anyone lend me some Euros to build the rest of it??

 

After purchasing the project land on March 7th, 2012, the groundbreaking ceremony took place today and, according to Jesús Samper, “the project will become an international tourist destination estimated to welcome more than 3 million visitors per year.” Michael Bartok declared Paramount’s goal in Spain is the “establishment of a state-of-the-art theme park intended  to attract and entertain both locals and tourists alike.” That goal, according to Mr. Bartok, is bolstered by the region of Murcia “because of its outstanding location and climate as well as its variety of cultural and leisure attractions.”

Interesting that this ceremony took place only a few days after Mr Samper confirmed that he still doesn't have an investors in place for the project, with the current meltdown of the Spanish economy I wonder how easy a task this will be !!
