The Head of Karelia assigned the Ministry of Economic Development to attract an investor for construction of a gas station in Zaonezhye
Artur Parfenchikov reported about it at the meeting on the Medvezhegorsk region social and economic development.
Gas station construction is one of the topical issues of the residents of the Zaonezhye Peninsula in social networks. Besides, the tourist flow to the island of Kizhi through the village of Oyatevshchina continues to grow. All this allows to ensure profitability of the gas station business on this road, the Head of the region noted.
– In 2024, 45 thousand tourists visited Kizhi along this route, while in 2023, there were only 15 thousand tourists, – said Artur Parfenchikov.
The head of Karelia gave instructions to work out the issue of attracting an investor for construction of a car filling station in Zaonezhye.
As reported by the Minister of Economic Development of Karelia Oleg Ermolaev, negotiations are currently underway with an investor regarding a land plot in the area of the village of Bolnichny and on the A-119 Medvezhyegorsk-Vologda highway.
Development of the transport infrastructure in the region was also discussed during the meeting.
The constructed road from Velikaya Guba to Oyatevshchina provides convenient access to Kizhi Island. The railway station in Medvezhyegorsk has been renovated. All this creates additional opportunities both for tourism development and improvement of the quality of the local population’s life.
In 2025, they plan to begin work on construction of a parking lot at the 30th kilometer of the Velikaya Guba - Oyatevshchina road, which will also contribute to an increase in the tourist flow through the Medvezhyegorsk region.
