By 2027, the roadway is to be rehabilitated, two bridges over the river will be built, sidewalks will be arranged, 15 road signs will be installed, and a protective parapet will be put in place.

Additionally, through the European Village and Europe is Close programmes, the government has invested 13 million lei in four other infrastructure modernization projects. A sewage system and a wastewater treatment plant have been built in the locality, the street lighting system was extended and the general urban plan of Festelita village was drawn up. A 0.9 km local road is also under construction.

This includes the modernization and equipping of the school and kindergarten, as well as the creation of a tourist route in the region.
