Yuri Trutnev chaired a meeting of the State Commission on Arctic Development

The agenda of the State Commission for Arctic Development meeting included the implementation of long-term plans for the comprehensive socio-economic development of key settlements in the Arctic Federal District; the development of utilities, energy, and social infrastructure in closed administrative-territorial entities; and the expansion of the Affordable Rental Housing program to the Arctic territory.

"Master plans for 15 Arctic key settlements were developed at the direction of Russian President Vladimir Putin and approved by the Russian Government on October 27 of this year. They were created considering the opinions of residents, their wishes, and the accumulated experience of implementing master plans in the Far East. By 2035, the plans provide for the renovation of housing stock and the development of housing and utilities infrastructure, transportation, healthcare, education, sports, and culture. In short, creating better living conditions for people. The required funding through 2035 amounts to 2.9 trillion rubles, of which 555 billion rubles comes from the federal budget. Nearly 1.8 trillion rubles come from extra-budgetary sources, and the remainder comes from regional budgets. Therefore, it is essential to ensure ongoing oversight of the use of these funds," Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yury Trutnev opened the meeting.
