“Construction of this facility will provide an opportunity not only to reaffirm Russia’s technological status and mobilise our intellectual resources and industrial potential. What is equally important, the project will enable hundreds and perhaps thousands of professionals and, above all young professionals, to express themselves and their talents and realise their most ambitious plans.”
The meeting focused on the current socio-economic situation in the region, primarily the problem of resettling people living in dilapidated housing. Mr Kozhemyako requested an additional 500-600 million in government allocations for the programme to resettle tenants living in substandard housing along the Baikal Amur Railway. Prime Minister Putin promised to instruct the Ministry of Economic Development and the Ministry for Regional Development to once again estimate the programme’s costs. The governor said that the regional economy is gaining momentum in all major sectors.
