Financing of road repairs in the Kirov region will continue

All existing subsidies, projects and programs aimed at updating the municipal road network will be retained in full.

The report on the implementation of PMI was the subject of discussion. Acting First Deputy Chairman of the Regional Government Dmitry Kurdyumov reported a significant increase in residents’ interest in updating local roads.

According to him, over the past year, the number of applications for putting roads in order of local importance increased by almost 40%, and a similar high dynamics is recorded under the Road Billion project.

Alexander Sokolov noted that despite the tangible improvement in the condition of key regional roads, the quality of rural and settlement roads remains one of the most pressing topics for the population.

The head of the region instructed the acting chairman of the regional government Mikhail Sandalov to take personal control over the issue of unconditional preservation of all existing measures to support the districts.

The governor paid special attention to plans to increase funding for the Road Billion program to 1,500,000,000 rubles.

The head of the region strictly pointed out that this increase in the budget should in no case be carried out at the expense of cutting subsidies to municipalities for their current road needs, and assured that he would categorically not allow a reduction in funding for districts.

Thanks to the preservation of all existing financial instruments, the municipalities of the Kirov region will be able to continue the systematic repair of the most problematic sections of the road infrastructure, which are chosen by residents themselves within the framework of the popular voting mechanisms.
