The command center of the Border Guard Company, which was a key part of the region's border control for decades, was sold to private ownership in 2017. The buyer of the property was a Lebanese businessman, which caused extensive public debate. The main topics of discussion were the potential new use of the property and the related security policy aspects, as the location was once a strategically important part of Finnish border guard operations. The sale also raised questions about how the former Border Guard premises should be handled and what risks their transfer to foreign ownership could bring. Currently, the former command center is in private use, and there is no significant public information about its operations. Border control or other security-related tasks are no longer performed in the area, as after the dissolution of the Border Guard Company, the tasks in the area of ​​responsibility have been redistributed to other units of the Border Guard. The transfer of the properties to private use reflects broader changes in the operations of the Finnish Border Guard and the use of the premises. However, there is a monument in the area of ​​the former command center, which was unveiled in 2009. This monument honors the work of the border guards and border guards who worked in the area for decades and their contribution to national security. Although the operation itself has been discontinued, the monument maintains the historical significance of the place and serves as a symbol of the important task that was once performed in the area. Future prospects are primarily related to the development of border control elsewhere in Finland. The Border Guard will continue its operations with renovated structures, and technological developments enable the modernization of border control. The area of ​​the former command center in Parikkala, on the other hand, remains part of the history of Finnish border control, although its use is no longer directly related to current border control.
