Karins said that the project will start with the informative report, and the culture community will be given the signal, that the Riga Acoustic Concert Hall will be built and it has a location.
Culture Minister Nauris Puntulis (National Alliance) said that the acoustic concert hall in Riga has been a long-term debt of the state before Latvia's excellent music industry. The minister voiced satisfaction that the government is ready to settle this debt in a respectful way. By tearing down the World Trade Center building, the city will get rid of a building that had been built for the Soviet nomenclature in one of the best locations of the city.

The building at 2 Elizabetes Street was built in 1974 as the office building for the Central Committee of the Latvian USSR Communist Party. Since the 1990s it housed company World Trade Center Riga who moved to a different address in 2014. In 2018, there were plans to move the Economics Ministry and its institutions to the building, but more than EUR 22 million would be needed for renovation and refurnishing.
