Work on renewing the permanent exhibition at the Tartu City Museum was originally due to be completed in time for 2024, Tartu's year as European Capital of Culture. However, now the city has postponed the renewal for an unspecified period of time, citing a lack of available funds. The proposed construction of a new cultural center in the heart of Tartu, which is estimated to cost €90 million, remains firmly in the city's plans.
The majority of construction projects planned by local governments will need to be postponed or scrapped due to the rising price of construction materials, supply chain difficulties and labor shortages, a deputy mayor of Tallinn said on Tuesday.
Isamaa's Tartu branch chief Kaspar Kokk told ETV morning program "Terevisioon" that the party plans to conclude coalition negotiations in Estonia's second city on Wednesday, ahead of signing a coalition deal at the end of the week.
