At the end of July, Valga Municipality submitted a project grant application to the State Support Services Centre for the construction of a new community centre in Tsirguliina. The plan is to build a new near-zero energy building, which will be issued with an A class energy label. The new building will have a size of 426,7 m2 and will be located in the centre of the village, next to the school. The chosen solution will increase the intensity of use and cross-use of the premises. The existing dilapidated community centre building will be demolished.
Monika Rogenbaum, Mayor of Valga municipality, said that the municipality has received the green light from the donor for several important projects and objects. „These are not just buildings, they are local landmarks, town and village centres, regional and stakeholder meeting places. In addition to the sports building of the Priimetsa school, the youth centre, the music school, the Lüllemäe and Tsirguliina schools, the swimming pool, the Buratino kindergarten, the Tsirguliina cultural temple will now have a completely new and modern solution. Successful projects are proof of the good work of the municipality, which has been noticed by evaluators and donors. Many thanks to everyone who has thought and worked to help Valga municipality develop,“ said the Mayor.
The budget for the Tsirguliina community centre has been estimated at just over €1 million, of which €700 000 will come from grants and €300 000 will be covered by self-financing.
As the construction project for the community centre is already complete, a call for tenders for the construction works can be published shortly and the works can be scheduled for next year.
