It is also planned to increase the share of roads of regional and municipal importance in accordance with regulatory requirements, "the curator of the region explained.

The accelerated development program includes several areas. The main task is to determine measures and steps that will help the emergence of new industries and the development of existing ones on the territory of the subject.

Within five years, the region will receive five billion rubles from the federal budget.
