On the 2nd, the Prefectural Assembly's Standing Committee on General Affairs and Planning adopted in principle a petition submitted by a citizens' group calling for the utilization of the prefectural civic center, which was abolished in Maebashi City in June. The petition is expected to be voted on at the plenary session on the 9th.

The prefecture has solicited businesses to conduct basic research on a "new cultural hub" to replace the prefectural civic center, and has revealed that eight businesses have applied. It plans to decide on a preferred business for negotiations in the future.

The citizens' group "Prefectural Civic Center Renaissance Association," which submitted the petition, strongly urges that discussions not be based on the assumption that demolition will be assumed as the plan moves forward.
