CORNERSTONE LAID FOR THE NEW CULTURAL CENTER IN FUTOG

Mayor of Novi Sad Mr. Miloš Vučević visited today the site of the new Culture Center Futog and laid the cornerstone of the future facility in Sima Šolaja Street. Total cost of the entire project is 35.153.644 RSD, initiated by the Commercial Premises Public Company, while the Contractor is NPN Construction Company.

- Thanks to the activities of the KIC Mladost, of the Commercial Premises Public Company, and with the support from the City Budget, following a seven-year halt, construction works on the new Culture Center Futog have finally begun.  In the following eight months, this imposing building of 1000 m2, will be completed. We are giving our best to complete the infrastructural works and build new facilities on the entire City territory, both in the center as well as in suburbs. This is a significant investment for Futog, and it should also be noted that apart from cultural activities, the Center will be used for other purposes as well. – said Mayor Vučević and reminded that a Post Office, Senior Citizens’ Association Office, as well as other contents of important for functioning of this part of Futog will also be located within the building.

Once the construction is finalized, the building of 1000 m2 gross area will have at its disposal two halls (for traditional dance, modern dance, and tamburitza orchestra), one auxiliary hall in the basement, with locker-rooms, toilettes and offices. Considering that the building will be used by the KIC Mladost, the contents should be adapted to its needs, e. g. for workshops for traditional costumes’ design and repair, for dance halls, ballet dance hall, as well as youth-halls.

Following the cornerstone laying ceremony, Mayor Vučević and his associates toured the KIC Mladost in the Cara Lazara Street, where they visited the gallery and the renovated hall for the Drama Studio, for whose capacity expansion the City also invested significant funds.
