ArmInfo. 2.434 billion drams will be allocated to continue the subsidy program for the development of Armenian communities. The decision was made at the RA government meeting on November 12.
Presenting the project, RA Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure David Khudatyan noted that the initiative envisages co-financing 34 programs in 22 communities of the republic. The funds will be provided to regional administrations for further financing of the submitted projects. Specifically, four programs will be implemented in the Ararat region, seven in Armavir, eight in Gegharkunik, four in Lori, two in Kotayk, one in Shirak, five in Syunik, and three in Tavush. Work will include paving roads, improving water supply and drainage systems, expanding irrigation systems, and gasification. The minister noted that co-financing from the state budget for each individual project varies, ranging from 30% to 70%. Overall, the investment portfolio is approximately 35 billion drams, half of which will be provided by the state budget, and the remainder by local government budgets.
As a reminder, in order to develop the economic and social infrastructure of the republic's communities, a process for providing subsidies to communities was initiated in 2018. At meetings of the interdepartmental commission for evaluating applications for subsidies, 363 subsidy programs were reviewed and approved in 2022, 273 in 2023, 242 in 2024, and 204 in 2025.
