Blagoevgrad municipality has ratified a project for the complete renovation of the the town's youth centre, and the installation of a brand new drainage, electrics and sanitation system. The project was approved for financing by the Ministry of Regional Development. Work is scheduled to begin at the end of April 2009.

Financing will be secured from the Ministry of Regional Development in order to "support and ensure appropriate, educational, profitable, social and cultural infrastructure," said a ministry spokesman, quoted by Stroitelstvo Gradut.

The total amount, which will be entirely funded by the ministry, is 1 149 659 leva. The scheme itself was introduced by the ministry in April 2008, when they suggested that a "total renovation and modernisation needs to be carried out on all exterior aspects of the building as well as on the interior ". 

The building will be furnished with new accessories, it will be fitted with new heat and hydro insulation, electric installation will be replaced and a new water pipe network installed. Reconstruction of the youth centre will take 15 months.

Blagoevgrad Youth Centre opened its doors in 1972. It has been operational until the present day in its original form. There has been no major face lift in or around the building, only minor patch-up works that have done little to maintain the building's appearance.
