ADR Centru checked three sites in Ungheni: the market, the French Park and a 35-million-lei road to Plaiul Fagului

The Centru Regional Development Agency — the body through which the state spends money from the National Fund for Regional and Local Development — inspected three building sites in Ungheni district on 18 June. Alongside the already-known agri-food market and French Park, a third project surfaced: rebuilding the access road to the “Plaiul Fagului” reserve, worth about 35 million lei. Together it is tens of millions in public money — which the official statement no longer puts into figures.

A home in Sculeni, part of a reform moving people out of institutions into the community

One of the eight community homes for people with severe intellectual disabilities in Moldova is in Sculeni, Ungheni district. It is part of a cross-border project funded by the European Union, which is modernising 12 social buildings, and in June the homes' staff were trained in ethics, person-centred care and crisis de-escalation. Behind it lies a quiet but profound reform: moving people out of large institutions into small homes in the community. It is advancing slowly — and that is why it is worth watching.

The French Park in Ungheni is changing its face: skatepark, padel and 5,217 m² of sports grounds on the bank of the Prut

The largest green space in the Ungheni municipality is a full building site. Besides the underground networks, the parkour zone, the skatepark and the water-retention basins are already taking shape, and on about 4 hectares there will be sports grounds — including for padel — playgrounds, cycling paths and running tracks. The money comes from two projects, one European and one national, and the healthy trees stay in place: the park was scanned by drone before the works.
