Super Borovets Project Gets Environmental Nod

Business: 22 April 2005, Friday.

An expert group of environmental officials has given their approval for the eco-feasibility report of the vast project Super Borovets meant to reconstruct, develop and modernize the popular Rila Mountain resort.

The environmental feasibility report, which defends the preservation of local flora and fauna, precedes the work on the construction draft and territory plans under the project.

The enormous complex planned to encompass the towns of Samokov and Beli Iskar and also the Borovets resort aims to attract investments of about BGN 300 M in the construction of hotels and various types of equipment.

Plans include the construction of a special 7,000-bedspace village, social communication center, entertainment sites, shopping centers, winter sports facilities, swim pools, tennis and golf courses.

Within the projected three zones of construction, as per height above sea level, the ski tracks and lifts will be linked into a common network.

Bulgarian, as well as Italian, Spanish, German and British companies have already shown interest to participate in the Super Borovets project.

The modernization project of Borovets seeks to improve the prospective candidature of Bulgaria for Winter Olympic Games 2014.
