It should be finalized in the 2nd half of next year and the town expects from it saving of 50% of current costs for operation of the public lighting. As informed Martin Baláž, the spokesman for the Žiar nad Hronom town, the reconstruction is financing from credit sources in the amount of 3.32 million Euro. „"The reason for this investment is a very poor state of the public lighting in the town and high costs of its operation.
