“Within three years we are to resettle the residents of apartment buildings with a total area of 225 thousand square meters, which will require significant investment from the federal and regional budgets — around 7,5 billion rubles,” he said.

According to Yuri Ilyin, this will be a significant step forward for the region, as in the past five years the resettlement process received only 2,2 billion.

“Between 2008 and 2012, it was planned to resettle the residents of apartment buildings with total area of 74,1 thousand square meters, and over the next few years, we need to do three times as much,” he concluded.
