Orbeliani Square is about to be rehabilitated. The relevant project's presentation by the Tbilisi City Hall was attended today by Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili.
The Prime Minister congratulated everyone on the beginning of this crucially important project and emphasized the uniqueness of Orbeliani Square.
"This place instills the special feeling of harmony which sets Tbilisi apart from every other city; a place where the past and progress come together. New Tfilisi is what unites the old and the new, a most important project initiated by Davit Narmania. Old Aghmashenebeli Avenue has been rehabilitated, turning into a place favored by all. Today Kakhi is launching a brand new stage in Tbilisi's development, and I wish him success. This place is rich in monuments of cultural heritage and greeneries. This place will turn into one of the most beautiful sections of Tbilisi dearly appreciated by our citizens and also attracting visitors. Given new developmental requirements and growing pace, we are obligated to ensure that every ornament in Tbilisi, every building-each worth a whole city-is preserved, restored, cherished, and rejuvenated. This project will put in place a new investment platform in Tbilisi, and the resources invested by the state will be complementary in breathing new life into this place. New life here means that the unique gist of this place lies within its residents and craftsmen, who used to work at Pirizme but are now assigned to different buildings-and they all must remain here in this neighborhood. There must be a place for everyone in renovated Tbilisi, our most beautiful and cherished capital. I once again congratulate you on the beginning of this important project. New Year is around the corner, so we need the festive spirit and new joy, and today is one such day of great joy to be shared by all of Tbilisi's residents," the Prime Minister stated.
Orbeliani Square renovation works consist of several stages scheduled for finalization in 2018.
