Last year the republic commissioned 340,000 sq meters of housing, which is a record of the recent 35 years, as reported by Head of the Republic of Karelia Artur Parfenchikov in his report on the work of the republican government.
The Government of Karelia is working hard to increase the number of land parcels provided to local residents for individual housing construction. “Last year they built 2,190 private houses with almost 3,600 land plots granted, which is 42 percent more than in the preceding year. Large families and heroes of the special military operation received over 300 land parcels,” Parfenchikov said.
“Private housing construction should be a priority. It not only increases the urban development potential, but also improves the quality of housing and promotes the birth rate. And it is our key demographic objective,” underscored head of the republic.
