Marat Khusnullin held a meeting with the head of the Republic of Karelia Artur Parfenchikov

Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin held a working meeting with the Head of the Republic of Karelia Artur Parfenchikov, during which the parties discussed key issues of the socio-economic development of the region.

"We see serious positive changes in Karelia in a number of areas. The republic is particularly confident in increasing the pace of housing construction: 224.7 thousand square meters have been commissioned since the beginning of the year, which is 18% higher than last year's figures. We are systematically engaged in infrastructure development. For example, last year, 33 large-class buses were delivered to Karelia using special treasury loans and 27 trolleybuses under preferential leasing from GTLK. Three projects are being implemented in Karelia using infrastructure budget loans, which made it possible to commission 33.4 thousand square meters of housing and attract 6.9 billion rubles in extra-budgetary investments. I would like to separately note the work on integrated development of territories: 6 territories with an area of 71.8 hectares have been identified for KRT, and projects have already begun to be implemented on 5 of them. There are still many tasks ahead; together with the head of the republic, we have outlined areas where we need to step up our work,” said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister added that today at a meeting of the Presidium of the Government Commission for Regional Development of Karelia, an application for 640 million rubles within the framework of treasury infrastructure loans was approved. The funds will be used to modernize heat supply systems.

"Thank you for your support! We will use the funds to modernize the heating systems of our Arctic regions – Kemsky and Belomorsky, as well as Pudozhsky. The project is extremely important for thousands of residents of the republic," explained the head of the Republic of Karelia Artur Parfenchikov.

At the meeting, the parties also discussed issues of road construction, including the reconstruction of sections of the Kola road.
