The participatory budgeting meeting continued in Region No. 1 of Elbasan, where residents discussed the needs of the area and the investments planned to be included in the 2027 Budget. During the meeting, attention was paid to investments carried out over the years, the improvement of educational and social infrastructure, as well as new projects expected to begin in this region.
Among the new investments are the reconstruction of the 9-year school “Abdyl Paralloi”, where the project has completed the preparation phase
and procurement procedures have been opened, as well as road intervention in the Emin Matraxhiu neighborhood, particularly in the Krasta area, where legal procedures have been completed and the expropriation process is expected to be concluded to start works.
During the meeting, the mayor of the Municipality of Elbasan, Gledian Llatja, highlighted the investments made in Region No. 1, which have also come as a result of residents’ own requests through participatory budgeting. He paid particular attention to the reconstruction of the gyms and sports fields next to the “Luigj Gurakuqi” pedagogical school, as well as to investments in education, social services and road infrastructure.
Participatory budgeting continues to be a process in which citizens have the opportunity to express their concerns, propose necessary interventions and vote for the investments to be included in the 2027 Budget.
The gym of the “Luigj Gurakuqi” school, where the meeting was held, was filled with residents, demonstrating the community’s interest in this process and its trust in the possibility of directly influencing the determination of investments for the area.
