The implementation of the project became possible thanks to the Big Construction Program of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.

“This object is being built on the initiative of the head of the regional state administration Aina Timchuk and the support of the Office of the President of Ukraine. On March 4, at the session, financing from the regional budget was allocated, co-financing from the local budget - Balakley City Council was also accepted, and in June a subvention from the state budget - 60 million hryvnias was received. In addition, we plan to receive a subvention in the amount of UAH 10 million, ”says Sergei Zhukov, Director of the Capital Construction Department..

Local residents have been waiting for the start of work in the Balakley children's and youth sports and recreation complex "

“It's been 10 years since the pool was closed due to emergency conditions.. For 10 years, the Balakleys dreamed every day that the reconstruction began. The development of the project began in 2016 and was submitted for financing under various programs, including under the program of the European Investment Bank and the Regional Development Fund. And only thanks to the Program of the President of Ukraine "

The representative of the contractor Denis Nazimov says that from 30 to 40 builders work at the facility every day.. Dismantling works are in progress now.

“Now the builders are dismantling the pool bowl. After that, we move on to external types of work and begin to prepare the elevator shafts, - said Denis Nazimov. “We are faced with a difficult task, a very complex object, but we will make every effort to complete all the work on time”.

According to the director of the sports complex " Also, the institution will equip all the conditions of inclusion, in particular - 2 elevators will be installed in the 3-storey building of the sports complex.

“For us, paralympic sport is not in the last place. Now we will be able to host regional and regional competitions in Paralympic sports.. Before that, we lifted people in wheelchairs in our arms. After reconstruction, we will have an elevator that will deliver people to the gym and the pool.. Thanks to the creation of conditions for inclusion, we will be able to open sections for people with disabilities, ”said Rostislav Kravchuk.
