An agreement has been signed between the Pune International Exhibition and Convention Centre (PIECC) management and an American architecture firm, Alliance-BBG, on Wednesday at Mumbai to design the Rs600 crore PIECC project.

The agreement was signed during a meeting involving the divisional commissioner and Pimpri-Chinchwad New Township Development Authority (PCNTDA) president Dilip Band, chief executive officer of PCNTDA Suhas Divase, Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Commissioner Ashish Sharma and officials of the state urban department.

Speaking to DNA, Sharma said, “There were two important decisions finalised in the meeting. The final agreement between Alliance-BBG and PIECC management was signed. The firm would make the architectural design for the project. Moreover, there would be employees appointed for PIECC on contractual basis. The posts like chief operating officer, heads for finance, administrative and legal departments will also be created for the project,” he added.

According to Divase, the American firm will complete the task in about three months. Chief minister Prithviraj Chavan had given a nod for the proposed exhibition and convention centre at Moshi, on Pune-Nashik Road, in November last year.

About 240-acre land is marked for the project, of which 180 acres will be used to develop exhibition halls and convention centre and a golf club. Funds would be raised for the project by auctioning plots for hotels, offices and residential purpose.
