According to Alexey Chekunkov, head of the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East, long-term plans for the comprehensive socio-economic development of the Arctic's key settlements will be extended until 2030.
The program for the renovation of closed administrative-territorial entities will require a total investment of 39 billion rubles until 2026, Chekunkov explained. It is planned to continue with this project until at least 2030.
