She also spoke about the creation of new tourist centres by developing tourism infrastructure in the regions.
I will not hesitate to say that the dynamics of fulfilling small and large scale infrastructure projects are clearly and unprecedentedly positive", announced Tskitishvili.
A project to restore Kutaisi’s historical district has already started. Reconstruction and restoration projects in Dusheti, Telavi, Bakuriani, Bakhmaro and other settlements are also at various stages, Tskitishvili said.
The process of designing and constructing museums in Vani, Oni, Borjomi, Stepantsminda, Mtskheta will be completed in 2019-2021.
She also noted that projects in the regions are being planned and funded based on the primary needs of the population identified during the meetings with them.Tskitishvili noted that the problem of access to kindergartens is important in all regions.
She said that through the Municipal Development Fund, the designing and construction of 40 new kindergartens was started in 2019, while municipalities will complete 48 kindergartens this year.
Georgian Infrastructure Minister Maia Tskitishvili says that there is no connection between the Anaklia deep sea port project and the ongoing money laundering investigation involving the founders of TBC Bank. She says that Anaklia Consortium, had faced problems in attracting funds for the 2.5 billion USD project before the investigation was launched involving TBC Bank.
The Georgian Minister for Regional Development and Infrastructure Maia Tskitishvili says that although the Anaklia port is a “fully private project” the state contribution is “still high”. Tskitishvili says that overall the state has invested $250 million in the project, due to the importance of the Anaklia port for the country’s infrastructure.
The Georgian Ministry of Infrastructure has responded to the statement of TBC founder Mamuka Khazaradze, that charges filed against him aim to stop the Anaklia Port Project, and said that the implementation of the project ‘is not, and cannot possibly be connected’ with any private individuals or companies.
