Kyrgyzstan Reclassifies 60 Hectares of Irrigated Land for Housing Construction

The Kyrgyz government has approved the transfer of 60 hectares of irrigated agricultural land in Kant, Chuy region, to the category of settlement lands. This significant land reallocation is designated for the construction of multi-story residential buildings under the state housing program "My Home." The project will be undertaken by the Open Joint Stock Company "State Mortgage Company."

The decision involves a plot of land belonging to the State Fund for Agricultural Lands, located within contour No. 3 in the Kant territory. The move aims to accelerate the development of housing infrastructure to meet the growing demand. The government emphasizes that the construction must comply with all relevant building, environmental, sanitary, and seismic safety regulations.

Furthermore, the authorities have mandated the implementation of systems for managing rainwater and meltwater runoff. Developers are also required to monitor hazardous natural processes and adhere to civil defense and environmental protection norms. The resolution also stipulates that any discovery of historical and cultural heritage objects on the site must be managed under archaeological supervision.

The resolution will come into effect ten days after its official publication. This initiative represents a key step in the government's efforts to expand housing availability, balancing development needs with environmental and safety considerations. The project underscores a commitment to urban development and the provision of affordable housing solutions.
