Armenia`s government to gift land to Tsakhkadzor community for  construction of park and theater 

ArmInfo.The Armenian government will donate land plots with five buildings on Khachatur  Kecharetsi Street, 1 with a total area of 2.94152 hectares to the Tsaghkadzor community. This decision was made at the meeting of the RA government on March 6.

As Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure  Armen Simonyan noted in his speech, it is planned to build an  administrative building of the city administration, a public park, a  theater and a car park on these sites. The Tsaghkadzor community,  being a tourist center, still does not have a public park.  The  territories of the community, on which its construction is possible,  are already private property.  Meanwhile, the state territory  adjacent to the Kecharis monastery complex, located at the address:  Kotayk region, Tsaghkadzor community, Khachatur Kecharetsi street, 1,  which is of historical significance for the local population,  occupies an area of 2.94152 hectares. Previously, a boarding school  was located on this territory, which has not been functioning since  the 1990s. There are 5 buildings on this territory that are in  emergency condition and unsuitable for operation. It is planned to  dismantle the existing buildings and build two buildings up to 3  stories high on the site. The first building will serve as the  administrative building of the Tsaghkadzor municipality, and the  other building will serve as a theater. The buildings are planned to  be built in accordance with international standards. The city  administration building is also planned to house a citizen service  office, a conference hall where meetings of the Council of Elders, as  well as other meetings of public, state and international importance  will be held. Parking for 110-200 cars is planned to be built in the  basement of both buildings and in the courtyard area, which will also  help relieve traffic on the central streets of Tsaghkadzor. On the  remaining part of the territory, landscaping works are planned, a  park, paths, a playground and a bicycle path, an open stage for  holding cultural events will be created.

The park is planned to be built on an area of about 2 hectares, which  will occupy 70 percent of the total area of the land.

It will include various plantings and water areas: pools, cascades,  fountains. The project is planned to be implemented at the expense of  the community's own funds.

In addition, the community will be given a building with an area of  339.66 square meters on Orbeli Eghpayrneri Street 9, in which the  city administration will continue its activities until the completion  of the program.

In connection with the presented draft decision, the RA Prime  Minister pointed out the importance of the project, which is  primarily designed to improve the image of Tsaghkadzor. Against the  background of the investment program for the construction of a ski  resort in the Epipatrush community, where the work has so far been  carried out at a level of 1%, the role and significance of the  enlarged Tsaghkadzor community is significantly increasing. The Prime  Minister called for attention to be paid to other settlements in the  region, including Aghavnadzor, which is still undervalued, although  it is a magnificent place in itself.
