The decision to build was made after the previous district cultural center building was declared unsafe and demolished. The head of state announced the allocation of funds during a meeting with district residents.
Revised estimates and new standards
According to Minister of Culture, Information, Youth Policy Mirbek Mambetaliev, the old building had been in critical condition since 2012. 3 million som was allocated for its demolition this year, and the site has already been cleared.
The initial project cost was estimated significantly higher, but relevant agencies proposed optimizing expenses. Minister of Construction, Architecture and Housing and Communal Services Nurdun Oruntaev noted that the project requires revision and the facility can be built within 130–150 million som.
Project Financing
"Let us allocate 150 million som in next year's budget. We need to build a wonderful building according to modern standards"
The President suggested following modern standards, similar to facilities currently being built in Kara-Kulja and Alay.
