#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. At a meeting of the relevant committee of the Krasnoyarsk region’s Legislative Assembly, the draft law on the regional budget was considered taking into account the amendments for the second reading, as reported on the official portal of Krasnoyarsk region.
Amendments for a total of 12.2 billion rubles increased spending in almost 200 areas, including support for the population and social policy in general, infrastructure development of the region with an emphasis on the social block, road network and housing and communal services, support for the economy and territories.
The budget parameters for 2025 for the second reading are as follows: revenues – 426.5 billion rubles; expenses – 504.9 billion rubles.
“A plan for the social development of economic growth centers has been developed for the core Arctic cities of our region, which made it possible to attract federal funding for the modernization of engineering and communal infrastructure in two settlements – Dudinka and Dikson. The region will receive more than 600 million rubles for 2025-2027. The money will be used to reconstruct the water intake and overhaul the dam in the village of Dikson, build a gas boiler house, reconstruct the sewerage system and collector system in Dudinka”, said Anton Narchuganov, head of the Region’s Northern Territories Development Agency.
The region will also get additional funds from the federal budget in the next three years to organize recreation for children in the Arctic, create mobile procurement centers in the north of the region, provide solar power plants and nomadic housing, goods and materials for people leading a traditional way of life, and develop domestic reindeer herding.
In addition, Anton Narchuganov presented to the deputies a bill providing for the escort of schoolchildren to the places of migration of their parents-reindeer herders. The current law does not include such a measure, so the northern regions are forced to allocate their own funds to ensure the safety of transporting schoolchildren.
Earlier, This Is Taimyr reported that a reindeer herder from the Nosok village became the owner of a new house.
