In Karelia there are 11 single-industry towns, which make up 46% of the urban settlements of the republic, and three territories of advanced socio-economic development: Nadvoitsy, Kondopoga and Kostomuksha.
The Ministry of Economic Development of Russia has prepared a draft of a new program for the integrated development of single-industry towns for 2019-2024. The document expands the activities of the Monotown Development Fund, the list of support measures and the conditions for their provision.
In addition to tax benefits provided to residents of PSEDA, new conditions have been introduced for financing projects that are implemented in single-industry towns. For investment projects worth from 10 to 260 million rubles, the interest rate is set at 0% per annum (previously it was 5%). The term for granting loans increased from 8 to 15 years, and the Fund's share in financing the project was increased from 40 to 80% of its total cost.
For the development of small and medium-sized businesses in monotowns of the republic, 80 million rubles have been allocated for the first time. These funds in the form of grants and subsidies will be used to offset the costs of entrepreneurs, as well as microloans at 3% .
