Earlier, the Yerevan Municipality approved the release of 554 million drams to finance the design of the new Metro station. In late April, the government of Armenia released another 750 million drams to that end.

The total cost of the construction of the station is estimated at $50 million. Earlier this year, a Russian company Metrogiprotrans won a tender announced by the Yerevan Municipality for the design of the new station.
