In the Volga Federal District, the modernization of communal infrastructure continues. Works are being carried out, including through the attraction of concessional loans at the expense of funds from the National Welfare Fund (NWF) and financial support from the federal budget. As of today, almost 1000 housing and communal services facilities have been commissioned in the district according to the programs, reported Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“Modernization of communal infrastructure is the most important social task. Without bringing housing and communal services facilities in order, without modernization of networks, any of our successes in housing and construction of new housing, social facilities will not provide proper comfort and reliability. Work is underway throughout the country. Including in the Volga Federal District, with the involvement of funds from the FNB and support from the federal budget, since 2022, work has been completed on 982 communal facilities, including about 1660 km of engineering networks,” said Marat Khusnullin.

At the expense of subsidies from the federal budget, 425 facilities have been commissioned in the territories of 13 subjects of the Russian Federation, including just over 980 km of networks.
