Armenia allocates more than one billion drams to the large-scale modernization of regional infrastructures. Within the framework of the state co-financing program, eleven communities of the country will receive support, where vital projects will be implemented, starting from the construction of solar plants to the overhaul of roads and educational institutions.
The relevant decision was adopted by the Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure at the March 26 meeting of the government Davit Khudatyan initiative. The total amount of allocated funds will be 1 billion 100 million drams, which will make it possible to implement subsidy programs in Aragatsotn, Ararat, Armavir, Gegharkunik, Syunik and Tavush marzes. According to the minister of the sector, the total volume of co-financing of similar projects from the state budget of 2026 has already reached 3 billion 57 million drams.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan detailed the main directions of investments. State funds will be used for the installation of seven solar photovoltaic plants with a total capacity of more than 350 kilowatt-hours, the overhaul of the roofs of residential buildings, the asphalting of roads, as well as the modernization of irrigation and outdoor lighting systems. In addition, replacement of old elevators, improvement of playgrounds and repair of kindergartens are planned.
During the session, special attention was paid to the deplorable condition of the administrative building of Aragatsotn Marzpetaran. The head of the government considered the current conditions of the building unacceptable for the state department, emphasizing the need for an urgent solution to the problem. In this regard, a part of the funding will be directed to the development of design and estimate documents for the fundamental repair of the structure and the acquisition of consulting services, which, according to Minister Khudatyan’s assurance, will be implemented in stages.
