Petrozavodsk is preparing for the New Year: 6 million rubles were allocated for the festive decoration

The administration of Petrozavodsk plans to spend 6.1 million rubles on the pre-New Year decoration of the city. The relevant information is published on the public procurement portal.

Installation of New Year's trees will begin on November 20. A total of 16 spruces will be installed, as in the previous year. The tallest, 18-meter spruce, will traditionally take its place on Kirov Square. Trees 10 meters high will appear in the Borodino square, as well as on the Birch Alley. Eight-meter fir trees will decorate the territory at the Iskra cinema, the Railway Park and the Onega embankment. The spruce height of 7 meters will be installed in the Park of Machine Builders, at the "Kukkovsky rooster" and on Zhukovsky street. Six-meter New Year beauties will appear in Sosnovy Square, Friendship Alley, Udega Park, Mikhail Kalinin Square, on the Main Square in Solomennoye, along Borovoye Street (houses No. 5-7) and in the Governor's Garden. For these purposes, more than 3.3 million rubles were allocated from the city budget, which is half a million more than last year’s costs (2.8 million rubles).

In addition, about 2.8 million rubles will be allocated for the installation and repair of light consoles. This year, 75 structures are in need of repair. That's less than last year. However, it is planned to increase the total number of light consoles from 500 to 600 units.

All work on the design of the city should be completed by December 11.
