Damari’s outrageous move that caused a storm in Meitar

At the end of that decade, Damari received the permits he had hoped for – both from the local council and the district committee, to change the designation of the land and convert it to commercial and residential, and in numbers – 181 housing units and 4,000 square meters of commercial and employment. Needless to say, those approvals are expected to lead to a very significant increase in Damari’s income relative to sheltered housing, which is estimated at hundreds of millions of shekels. It should be noted that already in the year following the purchase of the land, an application was submitted to change its designation.
At the municipal level, the issue has received particularly angry reactions among Meitar council members, and following numerous objections, including from residents, the plan was not promoted to the district committee for approval. How patient was Demari? He waited for the election of the head of the council and with the replacement of the head of the council, tried his luck to change the designation once more. Bottom line, upon receiving the relevant approvals, patience has been proven to pay off.
