The head of the region named high-priority projects, including construction of the Transfiguration of the Savior – Sr. Nicholas Maritime Cathedral, territorial improvement and the reconstruction of the Memorial to the Defenders of the Soviet Arctic during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.
“It is important that we treat every sector in a solicitous manner and pay attention to the smallest details of all projects, regardless of their scale. We should constantly monitor the situation and correct all nuances and details on time,” Andrei Chibis noted.
Other municipal districts will also continue to be improved, including the installation of small sculptures, the renovation of courtyard territories and other facilities selected by residents under the Your Own Project in the North program.
According to the Governor, it is highly important than Murmansk should become even more modern and people-friendly ahead of its 110thanniversary. The head of the region also recalled that, in 2027, Murmansk would host the International Arctic Forum “The Arctic: Territory of Dialogue”, and that the city should welcome visitors in a befitting manner.
