Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin held a meeting of the presidium (headquarters) of the Government Commission on Regional Development, where they discussed key tasks in further work on modernizing the public utility infrastructure and other key areas of the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”.
“We have large-scale plans ahead for the construction of housing, related and non-residential infrastructure, so it is extremely important to plan the work in terms of housing and communal services competently. Regional teams should already now describe in detail where we are modernizing communal facilities and where we are building new ones. We need to develop a maximally systematic approach, and for this purpose we are working on a “road map” for improving the regulatory framework for housing and communal services. I draw the attention of governors to the need to update general plans, heat, water supply and sanitation schemes, as well as control over the fulfillment of social obligations to citizens, in whose income the payment for housing and communal services takes up a significant part. I emphasize that the modernization of housing and communal services should become a priority for each region in the coming decades,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The Deputy Prime Minister also noted that within the framework of the national project “Infrastructure for Life” for 200 large and small cities, master plans will be developed on the instructions of the President. They will be designed to significantly simplify urban development procedures, which in turn will allow for the prompt updating of territorial development plans. Proposals for legislative consolidation of master plans will be presented in the near future.
The meeting participants discussed the progress of national and federal projects in the regions. Marat Khusnullin noted the Chechen Republic, Penza, Nizhny Novgorod, Kursk regions and the Republic of Adygea, which consistently show good results and are successful in 17 or more programs.
In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister noted the need to continue the active work of the Territorial Development Fund to monitor the activities of entities in terms of fulfilling plans for the major repairs of apartment buildings and implementing projects at the expense of infrastructure budget and special treasury loans. Thus, 289 facilities of engineering and utilities, road, transport, social infrastructure and infrastructure of the special economic zone have already been commissioned using IBC funds, more than 1.7 thousand units of public transport have been purchased and delivered. Thanks to the SCC, 18 facilities have been completed, and almost 6 thousand new buses have been delivered to the regions.
