27.03.2007 A SKI CENTER WILL BE CONSTRUCTED IN BYALA CHERKVA

Maritsa Daily, 21st March 2007

Kuklen Municipality has already prepared its conception for the construction of a ski resort with 5-6 racing tracks. The General Organizational Plan of the Municipality, including the new winter resort, will be adopted up to 2 months. After 3 cases, Kuklen Municipality wins 17 decares of Municipal forests on the land of Yavrovo village, which forests almost reach the center of “Zdravets” rest-house, and other 6 600 decares on the land of Galabovo village. These are 22 600 decares, or nearly 21 square meters of forest massifs that are a prerogative of the Mayor’s Management. The State Forestry Board has a parallel case against Kuklen Municipality for their managing. Actually, the forests are owned by the Municipality, but they are not tangibly put into possession; that is why Kuklen Municipality could not have them at its disposal.

At present, our land has area of 147-148 square meters, and the forests that we have won with court resolution are 1/7 of our land, and we do not want to become forest-guards, says Dimitar Sotirov, Mayor of Kuklen Municipality. That is why the councilors wish to engage more state authorities for the ski resort’s construction, and that will preserve the uniqueness of the region. And, here comes the idea of the preliminary project – for the construction of a lift passing through the lands of Markovo and Galabovo villages, and going to the village of Tsar Kaloyan. The construction of a preliminary station is envisaged on the territory of the village. The lift will pass through that preliminary station, and will reach “Zdravets” and “Studenets” rest houses. “Byala Cherkva” will be the last station. The lifts and routes are meant to remain owned by the Municipality. The Mayor’s Management of Kuklen, and experts of different state authorities, inclusive of the Regional Direction of Agriculture and Forests and Forests Regional Administration will discuss and decide which areas of the forest are appropriate for the construction of roads, hotels, bungalows, water basins, etc.; sites for communication and rest. And after that, on a next stage, we will search for investors who will surely synchronize their activities with our intentions, announced the Mayor.
