Animal shelters in the Leningrad Region will be able to buy out the land under them at a preferential price

Leningrad animal shelters can buy the land under them for 3 percent of the cadastral value. Earlier, the rate was 15 percent, the regional Department of Veterinary Medicine said.

The changes are recorded in the resolution of the Government of the Leningrad Region. The benefit is available to socially oriented non-profit organizations that maintain animal shelters. And the savings can be used for food and medicines, sterilization, arrangement of enclosures and infrastructure development.

"We see that such organizations need support, and we try to create conditions for their sustainable work," said the head of the regional committee on state property management Marine Tonoyan.

You can learn more about the conditions for obtaining this benefit on the website and in the communities of KUGI Leningrad region.

Earlier, MK in the Leningrad Region told how small runners helped the Tikhvin animal shelter with food.
