Federal center may co-finance Zabelye neighborhood development and preparations for Ufa's 450th anniversary

"The construction complex is the most important part of the republic's economy, and it is impossible to solve ambitious tasks of regional development without effective interaction with the federal center" the Head of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov, posted on his social media. "I am very grateful to Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin and the Russian Government for supporting the republican industry projects."

Due to such programs, initiated by the Ministry of Construction of Russia, as a preferential mortgage, "Stimul", as well as strengthening the activities of the Federal Fund for the Shareholders Rights Protection, Bashkortostan demonstrates very good progress. So, despite the difficult economic situation, 1.7 million square meters of housing were commissioned in the first nine months of 2020, providing almost 10% growth. By the end of the year, the region intends to reach the level of 2.4 million square meters.

"One of the most ambitious tasks is developing the Zabelye neighborhood in Ufa, where we started large-scale housing construction," said Radiy Khabirov. "In fact, we are forming a second Ufa with a prospect of constructing 13 million square meters. We have already resolved the issues of supplying heat, gas, electricity mains to this territory. It remains to resolve the issue of water supply and sewerage. Besides, in order to receive federal co-financing for the creation of engineering networks, our building sector has prepared applications for the "Stimul" program for 2021-2024. Also, with the assistance of the federal center, we will be able to solve essential infrastructure problems of the capital of Bashkortostan, taking into account the upcoming celebration of the Ufa's 450th anniversary in 2024. We will adopt a joint action plan for this project".
