The Council of Ministers approved the transfer of BGN 2 665 500. to Ruse Municipality for the construction of a sports hall with a swimming pool in the yard of "Vasil Levski" Secondary School in  ''Drujba'' district . With Decree 41 of this month, the government redirected the funds it allocated in December 2021 to repair the infrastructure and ensure the operational suitability of Ruse Airport.

"This is another support of the state on an important issue for Ruse, because in the neighborhoods "Drujba" and "Charodeyka", where a large part of the population is concentrated, there is no other sports facility. When the project started, we planned to set aside annually amounts for its implementation, but in the current situation I hope to make decisive steps faster, "said Mayor Pencho Milkov.

The construction of the sports hall with pool began in 2020, but was stopped after the construction company was declared bankrupt at a time of rising inflation and a sharp appreciation of building materials.

Along with 1. 2 million Lv. targeted subsidy, the amount that the Municipality provides this year for the site, becomes 3. 8 million Lv. The total value according to current prices is 5. 5 million Lv. half a million has already been spent.

"This means that the provision of a little more than 1 million leva remainsq which is quite a possible cost for the municipality," Milkov explained.

In addition, Ruse Municipality has prepared the technical assignment for the selection of a new contractor and the announcement of the public procurement is to be announced as soon as possible.

After the signing of a contract with Airport Ruse Ltd. , which has already implemented the first steps of its investment program for the airport, the allocated  2. 6 million Lv. was envisaged to be returned to the state. With the efforts of Mayor Pencho Milkov, however, they are not "lost", but are redirected to the other important project for the community.

With an official groundbreaking ceremony in Ruse began the construction of an anaerobic plant for biodegradable waste. The activity is part of the project "Design and construction of an anaerobic installation for separately collected biodegradable waste on the territory of the Regional Waste Management Association Ruse", funded by the Operational Program "Environment 2014 – 2020" (Priority Axis 2 "Waste"), co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund of the European Union and with national funds.

The main objective of the project is the construction and commissioning of the installation and the provision of separate collection of biodegradable waste by the municipalities members of the Regional Waste Management Association for the Ruse region. This will create additional recycling capacity, which will reduce the total amount of landfilled waste, in line with the objectives of OPE 2014-2020.
After its construction, the plant will allow oxygen-free treatment of biodegradable waste, which subsequently produces compost, as well as methane for electricity and heat production.

"I thank the whole project team, the contractor, the designers and the supervisor for the good cooperation so far. I believe that we will continue our joint efforts successfully, because the project is extremely important for the Municipality of Ruse and for the other members of the Regional Association for Waste Management", said Deputy Mayor and Project Manager Dimitar Nedev.

This is only the third anaerobic installation in Bulgaria. Through it, the municipality aims to improve waste management in Ruse and mitigate its harmful impact on the climate.
