The resolutions on the creation of new special economic zones, prepared by the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia, have been approved by the Russian Government. The total investment volume of potential residents will amount to more than 39 billion rubles at the first stage.
"The new SEZs involve a comprehensive renovation and modernization of historically established industrial zones in the Soviet era. Their creation will allow launching new investment cycles, "breathing new life" into these territories and creating modern conditions for the employment of qualified personnel," said Deputy Minister of Economic Development Sergey Galkin.
A special economic zone of the industrial and production type "Avangard" will be created on the territory of Omsk. At the first stage of the SEZ creation, 4 anchor investors with investments of over 23 billion rubles were announced. Within the framework of the SEZ, it is planned to implement projects in the field of petrochemistry and create more than 700 new jobs.
The Cabinet noted that the special economic zone is one of the tools for developing the local economy. Its location provides businesses with a number of advantages: minimizing administrative barriers, tax benefits and customs preferences, and reducing rental payments. In addition, SEZ residents can count on consulting support from management companies when implementing investment projects.
It should be recalled that specialists from the Omsk Region Development and Investment Agency support investment projects on a one-stop-shop basis at all stages of implementation. Consultations on investment project support can be obtained by calling +7 (3812)40-80-49.
