Zolochiv is an ancient European city that unites the culture and history of several nations and now it is in a period of its rebirth. Vicheva square (the old name - Rynok Square) is the city visiting card, needs to restore its historical mission - a key epicenter of community life that has been formed for centuries.

In 2011, according to the Zolochiv City Council’s order, a project of a comprehensive reconstruction of the city historical part was made. The author team of the company UKRDESIGNGROUP headed by Ihor Kuzmak worked on the project. The chief engineer of the project is Mykhailo Fedyk, Merited Architect of Ukraine.

The project is divided into three stages. At this time two stages of the project are completed. In the first stage (2011-2014), all underground communications were replaced, and perfect road surface was laid down on Shashkevych Street, a square in front of the Church of the Resurrection of the Lord was re-constructed.

At the second stage (2015-2016) reconstruction of Skovoroda Boulevard was completed, the square in front of the main entrance to the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was restored. The determinative factor at this stage was that due to patrons and the community, without any budgetary funding, two unique sculptures that were lost in the Soviet period - sculptures of the Rev. Joseph and the Blessed Virgin Mary with little Jesus were restored.

The project is currently in the third, final stage. This stage is characterized by the fact that it is planned to reconstruct Vicheva Square and adjacent streets. This public space, according to the project, will be reconstructed taking into account the needs of both citizens and guests of the city. Traffic lights, a fountain, public toilets which will be accessible to people with disabilities will be built there. The total budget is over 54 million UAH. 25 863 853, 55 UAH have been spent already. We need another 29 030 233, 45 UAH to complete the works.

The Zolochiv community appeals to philanthropists with asking for a significantly smaller amount, which will substantially help in resolving the issue of the reconstruction of the main square of the city.
