#urban garden

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.
