CARACAS, 16 April (BelTA) – In April 2010 the Venezuelan side will provide Belarusian constructors with 260-hectares of land to construct a satellite town in the Barinas State. The project envisages the construction of 10,000 apartments, BelTA learnt from Alexander Mysov, chief architect of the project, head of the Belniigradostroitelstvo company. The agreement on construction of the satellite town was reached during a meeting of Belarusian Minister for Architecture and Construction Alexander Seleznev and Public Works and Housing Minister of Venezuela Diosdado Cabello in Barinas on 15 April. “The project developed by Belniigradostroitelstvo in 2009 envisages the construction of three and four-storey houses designed for 10,000 apartments.
