Construction of a new alley along Mikhaylenko Street has been completed in the village of Borovskoye.The project cost 44 million tenge, 36 million tenge of which came from the regional budget and 8 million tenge from the national budget. The new alley has become not only an adornment to the district center but also a comfortable place for residents to relax."The "Taza Kazakhstan" program cares for every corner of our native land. We create comfortable, clean, and safe spaces for people. It is important that such projects appear not only in cities but also in rural areas," noted Kumar Aksakalov.During his working visit, the regional governor inspected the construction of a three-story apartment building in the village of Borovskoye. The project is being financed by the contractor, SK KBS LLC, and the total construction cost is 826 million tenge.After completion, the Akimat will purchase 45 apartments to replenish the municipal housing stock. The building will consist of 32 one-bedroom, 10 two-bedroom, and 6 three-bedroom apartments, with a total area of over 2,600 square meters.Kumar Aksakalov also visited a two-story, 12-apartment building in the village of Kamenskuralskoye, restored by the Kamenskouralskoye partnership.
