Urban garden in downtown Ungheni: utility networks and paths are done, the European project ends on 11 December

On the plot between Înfrățirii Square and the Episcopal Cathedral, the underground utility networks and the paths have been built and the ground has been levelled, Ungheni City Hall announces. The work is carried out by SRL “Servicii Comunale Ungheni”, and the infrastructure costs are covered by City Hall, according to the same source. The European project funding the garden, worth 303.802,50 euros, is due to end on 11 December 2026.

Ungheni City Hall calls itself „just a partner” in the downtown garden — but it puts up half the budget

The green space between Înfrățirii Square and the Episcopal Cathedral, covering 0,8 hectares, is being turned into an „urban garden” through a cross-border project funded by the European Union. The total budget is 303.802,50 euros, and Ungheni City Hall states on its page that it is „just a partner”. Programme documents show, however, that the municipality holds the largest individual budget in the project — 152.261 euros, or 50,1% — more than the organisation leading the project. Work begins about five months before the completion deadline.
