A respective decision was made by the Kharkiv regional council deputies during the plenary meeting of ХХVІ session to prevent any debts and protect the payroll and energy expenses of cultural facilities.
According to the Head of the regional council Serhii Chernov, “these are hard times for theatres, regional philharmonic society, art and music bands whose activities are restricted due to the spread of the coronavirus disease. Therefore, changes to the Kharkiv regional culture, tourism and cultural legacy development program for 2019-2023 require the rise of expected funding by UAH 36.3 m. The funds will be allocated to the payroll and energy costs”, clarified the head of the regional council.
Further, other changes include the increase of funding by UAH 1.3 m. to hold cultural and art events; create an information system of cultural legacy facilities; and develop design documents for renovation and restoration of historical sights, monuments, etc.
