The management company of the special economic zone (SEZ) “Kulibin” in Dzerzhinsk – the Development Corporation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region – held a quarterly meeting with the SEZ residents.
Deputy Director General of the Development Corporation Vadim Zhogan spoke about the construction of engineering and transport infrastructure facilities on the SEZ territory. Currently, roads and telecommunications, gas and electricity supply networks, as well as storm sewer are being constructed on the state site. Work is also underway to create two checkpoints and industrial and production facilities.
Svetlana Zolnikova, head of HR department of the Development Corporation, told the meeting participants about the possibility of organizing targeted training for students at partner universities with internships at the local enterprises. Among other issues discussed were also prospects for including the SEZ “Kulibin” in state programs to receive grants for the development of mentoring at resident enterprises.
Another issue on agenda was centered around providing housing for employees of resident companies. Opposite the Lesnaya Polyana settlement, it is planned to build a residential complex that will include apartment buildings, a kindergarten, a school and other social infrastructure. The construction will be carried out in four stages.
“The meeting touched upon the most important issues for residents: the construction of engineering infrastructure on the state site, providing the resident enterprises with qualified personnel, plans for accommodating the families of company employees. The Development Corporation strives to create the most comfortable conditions for the implementation of investment projects, so feedback from investors is extremely important to us, we are always open to dialogue”, said Igor Ishchenko, Director General of the Nizhny Novgorod Region Development Corporation.
Let us recall that the special economic zone (SEZ) of industrial production type “Kulibin” was created in May 2020 on the territory of Dzerzhinsk. To date, the expert council of the special economic zone has approved the implementation of 35 investment projects, the total investment amount of which exceeds 100 billion rubles.
In 2023, the area of SEZ was increased by 10 times, reaching 724 hectares. Thus, SEZ currently includes the state site (more than 400 hectares), as well as private sites of DPO “Plastic”, “Oka-Polymer” and “Sintez-Oka”. The preferential conditions of the SEZ reduce income tax rates for its residents from 20% to 2% in the first 5 years, to 5% in the next 5 years and 14.5% thereafter, and also establish zero rates for taxes on property and land and transport tax.
