Primorsky Krai launches 12.5B ruble upgrade to transform infrastructure by 2030
Primorsky Krai Boosts Off-Budget Funding for Urban and Municipal Infrastructure
Primorsky Krai is stepping up efforts to attract extrabudgetary funds for the development of urban and municipal infrastructure, with authorities prioritizing projects designed to improve residents' quality of life while laying the groundwork for the region's economic growth.
According to the regional government, several financing mechanisms are already in place, including infrastructure budget loans, special treasury loans, and treasury infrastructure credits. These tools enable large-scale projects to move forward without placing an excessive burden on the regional budget. Funds are primarily allocated to roads, utilities, social infrastructure, and housing construction.
In Vladivostok, one of the most visible projects is a new road from Neibuta Street, 67A to the Sedanka–Patrokl bypass, built using special treasury credits. In Ussuriysk, the same funding mechanism has completed a pressure sewer main, renovated 12 educational institutions, and is financing the construction of a 220-place kindergarten. This approach ensures that funding covers both transportation and social sectors.
In Bolshoy Kamen, infrastructure credits will be used to modernize water supply, sewage, and stormwater systems. Over the next two years, the city plans to reconstruct its water pipeline, as well as sewage and stormwater collectors. Additionally, by 2028, authorities aim to establish facilities for processing household and industrial waste.
A separate focus is on housing and utility modernization. Regional officials estimate that, thanks to infrastructure budget loans, more than 200,000 Primorsky families will be able to improve their living conditions by 2030. Another 12.5 billion rubles will be allocated to upgrading utility systems.
The federal government emphasizes that these loans are provided to regions on preferential terms—at 3% annual interest over 15 years. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin noted that this mechanism helps launch projects with long-term benefits for both the economy and local development.
"Infrastructure loans, issued to regions on highly favorable terms—3% per year over 15 years—are the most capital-intensive. They allow us to implement projects that deliver a multiplier effect, fostering territorial development and economic growth without overburdening regional budgets," Khusnullin said. "All these initiatives are designed to enhance Russians' quality of life, not only by upgrading existing infrastructure but also by creating a foundation for future growth and opportunities."
Vasily Kupyzin, director of the Territory Development Fund, added that such projects not only drive regional and economic development but also attract private investment.
