The Village Hall will finally be built next to the Mayor's Office in Csopak

The picturesque town of Csopak, located on the northern shore of Lake Balaton in the immediate vicinity of Balatonfüred, will be enriched with a multifunctional community space. According to Mayor Tibor Ambrus's his social media page, a contract was signed with the contractor in February for the long-awaited project to finally be realised. The first phase of the new community centre will be built in 2023 by VEMÉV-SZER Kft., winner of the 2023 Business of the Year award.

According to the EU's public procurement notice, the contractor was the best bidder out of the five valid bids received, with a net value of around HUF 911 million.

The complex would include a spacious internal courtyard with associated car parking, which would also allow for the provision of quality outdoor activities.

In the basement, there will be a rehearsal room of about 100 square metres with dressing rooms and toilets, on the ground floor of the Village Hall, a theatre with a gallery (with overhead lighting), a catering unit (i.e. a bistro or restaurant) and a special room for smaller events, and on the upper floor, meeting rooms, offices and work rooms.
