Almaty Mayor Yerbolat Dossayev expressed his opinion on the construction of the Congress Center, which will be located in the Tauly Kyrat microdistrict, above Al-Farabi Avenue.
“The city’s new Congress Center will be state-owned. Funds will be allocated from the city budget for engineering infrastructure and improvement. In addition, funds from private sponsors will be attracted as part of social responsibility,” the mayor said at a meeting with the public.
Yerbolat Dossayev noted that the purchase of land plots is being carried out in accordance with all legal requirements.
“The purchase of land plots is carried out in accordance with the established procedure. Those who disagree with the proposed price can go to court. The necessary agreements have been concluded with some landowners and payments have been made. The main thing is that the main part of the land plots is already owned by the city. We will not violate the rights of residents under any circumstances,” said the akim.
The city head said that Almaty currently does not have a Congress Center.
“There is no Congress Center in our city, so we will build one. Some false information has been spread, rumors have spread that commercial real estate will be built in this area. I want to reassure all residents of the city: no commercial real estate will be built, only a Congress Center will be built. Since the Soviet Union, no such facilities have been built, except for the Palace of the Republic,” said Yerbolat Dossayev.
