The leadership of the Vitebsk region checked the readiness of the main facilities for the Forum of Regions
Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee Alexander Subbotin, Chairman of the Regional Council of Deputies Dmitry Demidov, and Chairman of the City Executive Committee Gennady Sabinich, after working at the subbotnik, visited the most significant construction sites in the city.
Among the first was the construction site of the surgical building of the Vitebsk Regional Hospital. This project, although not among those announced for the Forum of Regions, is the most large-scale and socially significant for the northern region of Belarus.
The working group also visited Vitebsk Airport, and assessed the progress of reconstruction work on Victory Square, the Vitebsk Concert Hall, the Summer Amphitheater, and the Vitebsk Hotel.
Alexander Subbotin, speaking about the readiness of the hotel, noted that all work is being carried out according to the deadlines previously set by the regional and city authorities.
- We are on schedule, but the process is tight. According to the plans, the facility was supposed to be completed in a year and a half, but we aim to finish it in 6-7 months. Therefore, we are attracting more people and organizing work in several shifts.
The Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee emphasized that there are many construction sites in Vitebsk now. Each of them requires attention and the resolution of additional issues that were not accounted for either during the design phase or at the beginning of the work. But even despite some challenges, the head of the region is confident that Vitebsk will be fully prepared for the Forum of Regions.
- The Forum is a celebration and a grand event for our wonderful city and for the Union State. It will become a starting point for further development and for bringing order at a more intensive pace. We will definitely make Vitebsk better, more beautiful, and more comfortable.
