Freshening Up Minsk: 2024 Infrastructure Boom
Exciting things are happening in the heart of Belarus! Irina Gonatayeva, Chairperson of the Construction and Investment Committee of Minsk City Executive Committee, shared some jaw-dropping updates about the city's construction progress at a recent meeting.
Irina highlighted a whopping 102 multi-apartment buildings – that's a staggering million square meters – currently springing up across Minsk. A significant chunk of this development is the "Minsk-Mir" residential complex, with 28 buildings spanning 252,000 square meters slated for completion.
Oh, and guess what? That's not all! Another 14 buildings, covering 141,000 square meters, are part of the "Northern Shore" complex.
In 2024, the city plans to commission approximately 710,000 square meters of housing, with 85,000 square meters earmarked for citizens eagerly waiting for improved living conditions.
But it's not just about building more homes! The social sector is also getting some love. Four clinics are set to open by the end of the year – two multi-profile clinics (in the Eastern settlement and the "Minsk-Mir" residential complex) and two children's clinics (in Loshitsa and "Minsk-Mir").
To top it all off, two new schools and three kindergartens are scheduled to open in strategic locations around the city. Plus, the construction of a narcological center on Karvat Street and an additional 100-bed building in the Psychoneurological Boarding House No.1 for the Elderly and Disabled in Ostroshitsky Gorodok is nearly complete.
So, buckle up, Minsk residents! It's going to be a fast-paced and prosperous future for all of us.
