Aybek Kochorbaev reported that 1 billion 90 million soms have been allocated from the presidential stabilization fund to Talas.
“Previously, there was no comfortable public transport in the city. Of the allocated amount, 180 million soms will go towards the purchase of electric buses. As a result of a recent trip by the regional and city leadership to China, an agreement was reached to purchase 30 buses. Since the allocated funds turned out to be insufficient, part of the transport will be acquired through leasing,” he added.
The bus station is now under the balance of the city administration, and a municipal enterprise has been created. A project for its reconstruction is currently being developed,” Kochorbaev clarified.
Road Infrastructure Update
Last year, 50 km of sidewalks were asphalted in Talas. In 2026, it is planned to repair 36 km of city roads: 10 km will be carried out by the Ministry of Transport and Communications, while the remaining 26 km will be funded by 910 million soms from the stabilization fund.
Of the allocated 1 billion soms for regional development, 240 million are directed to the needs of Talas. Last year, these funds were used to fully reconstruct the central square and asphalt 7 km of roads, including pedestrian and bike paths.
Three factories have also been built in the city: an asphalt concrete plant for 33 million soms, a concrete plant for 19 million, and a stone crushing plant for 30 million. The equipment for them was brought from China, and construction has been completed.
“All three factories are already operational. The total cost amounted to about 90 million soms. Materials from these factories will be used for road construction this year,” noted Kochorbaev.
Additionally, 18 units of equipment have been purchased: 12 units were transferred to the factories, while the remaining 6 were given to municipal enterprises for garbage collection and road work.
Tourism and Entertainment Projects
A large-scale reconstruction of the city’s central park has begun, with 112 million soms allocated for this purpose. The park covers an area of about 5 hectares. New recreation areas are being created, attractions are being installed, and landscaping is underway.
The old attractions had not been operational since 2008, and now 8 new ones have been brought in from China. For greening and landscaping, 30 million soms have been allocated from the stabilization fund, while the local budget will contribute about 9 million soms.
“Seven attractions have already been installed, and the last one is in the process of installation. With the arrival of warm weather, active landscaping will begin. We plan to complete the park renovation by April 20,” said the deputy mayor.
In addition, two water reservoirs of 2000 cubic meters each are being built (total cost — 84 million soms). Water supply will begin in the spring, which will improve the clean water supply system.

In "Balastan," there will be attractions, special play areas for children with disabilities, a modern cinema, a congress hall, and restaurants. The center plans to use guide robots, which will be delivered from China.
