December the 10th, 2021 - Fazana in Istria is putting its money where its mouth is and getting ready to construct various new facilities, from a sport centre to a care home to new traffic and communal infrastructure.
As Poslovni Dnevnik writes, Fazana's Radomir Korac recently presented his draft budget for next year, which will be firmly on the agenda of the Municipal Council.
"In the past, Fazana has flourished on all levels, both economic and cultural, in terms of sports and overall activities. The municipality has increased by several tens of percent and today it has 3,650 inhabitants. From a small fishing village and a point of orientation to the City of Pula, today, we're among the ten most developed municipalities in all of Croatia with great prospects for further development,'' he stated.
''Many infrastructure projects were created in that period, and many are still ahead of us. The Municipality of Fazana plans to invest significant funds in development in 2022, namely, 23,035,000 kuna will be invested for the purchase of non-financial assets, and 4,100,000 kuna through capital aid to utility companies such as Vodovod and Pragrande, which totals 27,135,000 kuna in capital investments,'' announced Kora, noting that all of the above represents 52.3 percent of budget expenditures, which indicates, he added, that the municipality has a very high level of investment, as reported by local portal Glas Istre.
Among the most prominent infrastructure projects for Fazana, the mayor pointed out the preparation of project documentation and the construction of a new care home, a new youth centre, the construction of a football centre in Fazana, the construction of the Valbandon social and sport centre, a skate park, a recycling yard and much, much more, all of which will also require fresh traffic and communical infrastructure.
In addition to all of the above, significant funds will be invested in the construction of Fazana's water supply and sewerage networks in the closer Valbandon area. In 2022, the largest project will start, the Pula North Agglomeration, which will seek to properly address the issue of the sewage and water supply network, which will enable the expansion of the construction area and solve the current overloaded sewage network. Not dealing with this represents an obstacle to further tourism development in and around Fazana.
He also announced that next year, a building permit will be obtained for the extension of the primary school, he also said that the construction of one side of the port in Valbandon will begin in the same year, which will provide a hundred new berths, and at the same time the project of the Port of Fazana will be completed in cooperation with the Port Authority.
