Tallinn City Government has submitted a list of streets adjacent to the planned new United States Embassy building which the city government wants to renovate and which it has requested aid from the Americans to do so.
The new complex is due to be built on land between Suur-Ameerika and Väike-Ameerika streets in central Tallinn, next to the “superministry” building and on a plot which had been used as a sports field.
The city government’s list requested €40-€60 million towards the reconstruction of Suur-Ameerika, another the €10 million for work on nearby Koidu tänav, in the Uus Mailm neighborhood.
The required detailed plan is still under preparation, however.
On October 8 this year, head of Tallinn’s urban planning department Martin Karro addressed the U.S. embassy and noted that a local residents’ association will not back the planned build until clear agreements are reached on how local residents are to be compensated for the loss of green space.
