ArmInfo. In Ararat, 48 families who received housing orders back in the Soviet era will be provided with apartments by 2030. The corresponding decision was made at a government meeting on July 23.
According to Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure David Khudatyan, for this purpose, public lands of 0.26 hectares with a cadastral value of 4.8 million drams at 20 Shahumyan Street and 0.11 hectares with a cadastral value of 2 million drams at 37/1 Shahumyan Street will be transferred to the Emil Mining company. The latter is committed to constructing two residential buildings with 48 apartments, each approximately 68 square meters, by 2030 and transferring them to the community, which in turn will provide housing to families holding permits for apartments in these buildings. Additionally, the community will receive a 686 square meter plot of land for the construction of a public library.
Khudatyan explained that construction was underway in these areas during the Soviet era, and residents renounced their development rights in exchange for receiving permits for apartments. However, their buildings were demolished, and the construction that had begun was never completed.
"As a result of this program, residents who lost their property in the 1980s will have the opportunity to restore their property rights," Khudatyan said.
Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan, in turn, noted that construction volumes are expected to increase in regional centers, as the income tax refund mechanism for home purchases will continue to operate there.
