Vitaly Khotsenko and his team plan to attract 1 trillion 300 billion rubles of investments to the Omsk Region over five years and create 20,000 jobs.

On November 30, in a message to the Legislative Assembly on the main directions of budgetary and socio-economic policy, the Governor made attracting investments to the region one of the four main priorities of the Omsk Region Government.

"We are creating conditions for attracting investments to the region by providing incentives and support to investors, improving infrastructure and legislation. In the next 5 years, it is planned to attract about 1 trillion 300 billion rubles of investments to the region and create 20,000 new jobs," said Vitaly Khotsenko.

He recalled that a Regional investment Standard had been introduced for this purpose, and the activities of the Development and Investment Agency had been reformatted.

"The key difference of the new format is that our Agency will create unique investment proposals for businesses. An Investment Committee has been established to discuss projects and measures to support them in a direct dialogue format. Starting next year, we must move on to the implementation of the Municipal Investment Standard. The requirements for local regulations to support investment projects have been approved by the Russian Ministry of Economic Development. Therefore, I set the task to launch all recommended practices for working with investors in the districts and the city of Omsk next year," Vitaly Khotsenko emphasized.

We are increasingly using public-private partnerships to implement major projects. There are a number of major concessions in the region for the creation of sports, educational and transport infrastructure. Projects in the field of waste recycling are being implemented.

"In the near future, we plan to attract private investment in PPP projects for the construction of a bridge over the Om River, the construction of a swimming pool in Tara and FOKA in the Green River microdistrict, and the modernization of recreation space in the Green Island Park. New initiatives should also appear, as budget opportunities for construction projects are limited. Therefore, it was decided to participate in the Omsk Region as a pilot region in an experiment with the federal Center for Public-Private Partnership. I instruct all industry authorities to take an active part in this experiment," said Vitaliy Khotsenko.

According to the head of the Omsk region, the development of the Avangard special economic zone, of which 6 organizations have become residents, also requires acceleration. In 2024, the construction of the first plant for the production of metal structures should be completed on the territory of the special zone. It is planned to start construction of a large-scale production of graphitized electrodes.

Logistics is one of the potential growth points. The region's logistics projects will be continued. The first stage of the Solnechny Logopark for 300 jobs has already been opened, and more than 5 billion rubles have been invested. It is planned to commission the second stage of the Logopark, the Wildberries distribution center, and the expansion of the Transcontainer site. The creation of the Logoper transport and logistics center is being worked out.

"In order to develop such initiatives, a bill has been prepared to reduce property taxes for large logistics centers. Today it will be presented to you, dear deputies. I ask for your support," Vitaliy Khotsenko addressed the deputy corps of the regional parliament.
