And it will definitely bring a lot of wealth if all goes by plan. What disturbes me is that there could have been clauses on the form of a site specific Eco-tax which would openly fund eco-investment plans by the goverment. This way a cycle of investment pro-enviornmnet would start off. But the main idea of the project is the regeneration of a depressed region and future investment. I doubt the first points is really true because the way the palce has been planned is almost self-sustaining and anyone going anywhere from there would rather go valletta or sliema other than the dilapidated areas of bormla or the south of malta.
