Investments of about 12 million lei are required for restoring the Stair of Cascades and the rotunda in the Chisinau park “Valea Morilor”. Head of the Constructions Division Roman Sofroni said the municipality of Chisinau does not have such money. Thus, a public tender contest is to be held to identify a private partner.

According to Roman Sofroni, the reconstruction project includes the restoration of lighting, green areas, fountains and water reservoirs. The works form part of a larger project to renovate the whole park. Thus, at the next stage, the stairs going from the State University will be repaired and the slopes will be reinforced so as to mitigate landslides. The last part of the project covers the Summer Theater, which will also be reconstructed.

The park “Valea Morilor”, which is 104 hectares in area, and the local lake were laid out in 1952. Over the last few years, the Chisinau City Hall hadsspent over 70 million lei on the cleanup of the lake.
