Craiova's mayor Olguta Vasilescu: Investments of over 1.6 billion euros, completed or ongoing in Craiova

Craiova has invested over 1.6 billion euros in various projects, according to Mayor Lia Olguta Vasilescu. The municipality accessed around 80 million euros from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), primarily for rehabilitation and modernization efforts. Additional investments of approximately 85 million euros are in partnership with Dolj County Council, focusing on healthcare and infrastructure. Major projects include a new energy hub and the Craiova Regional Hospital, with significant European funding already secured. The mayor emphasizes the need for a comprehensive comparison of investments across cities, rather than focusing solely on NRRP funds.
