The strategy calls for developing the Kem – Belomorsk agglomeration as a White Sea logistic hub and future center of Arctic tourism. This will make it possible to expand the gross municipal product by over 100 percent, as per the press service of the Ministry for the Development of the Russian Far East and Arctic.During the plan’s implementation, the White Sea – Baltic Sea Canal will be developed; a merchant seaport with potential annual trade volumes of up to ten million metric tons will be built in Belomorsk. This will create an alternative route allowing regions of the Central and Volga federal districts to access the Northern Sea Route and will reduce the load on the Oktyabrskaya Railway.Top-priority projects include an all-season hotel facility in Kem and an aqua-thermal resort near Belomorsk. Tourist traffic to the Solovetsky Islands Archipelago and petroglyphs in Belomorsk is to reach 350,000 trips annually.The plan aims to overhaul the Belomorsk hospital, kindergartens in Kem and Belomorsk and the Belomorsk House of Culture. It is also intended to relocate tenants from rundown and dilapidated housing.“The agglomeration’s master plan merges construction of new tourist, industrial and social facilities into an integral system aiming to comprehensively improve living standards of Pomorye residents, to expand the region’s tourist potential to enhance and unlock its capabilities as an important logistic hub in the Russian Arctic. It is important that specific decisions heed the opinion of local residents and aim to eliminate key territorial development restrictions,” Deputy Director of the Russian Far East and Arctic Development Corporation, Ilya Chernov, noted.The implementation of comprehensive master plans of core communities in the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation covers 15 Arctic cities and agglomerations; the entire program is to receive 2.9 trillion rubles until 2035.
