The territory of more than 100 hectares is planned to be converted into a high-tech, public and business space. Such a plan was presented to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The meeting with the head of state took place the day before. The meeting took place as part of a meeting of the supervisory and expert council of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives.
The huge abandoned territory “Gorskaya” in St. Petersburg is currently not in use. Illegal waste dumps are only growing there.
According to the presented to the plan from Megaline the territory can be transformed into an IT village. It is also possible to build industrial and warehouse facilities in the Light Industrial format, which can be actively used by small and medium-sized businesses.
There are also plans to create a public space on the territory. There will be a Dam Museum with an observation deck. In addition, an embankment and paths for cyclists will be created.
The investor prepared several options for improving the territory. It is planned that in the next 15 years the volume of tax revenues will be about 32 billion rubles. About 15 thousand jobs will be created for city residents.
The Megaline company will find funds for the development of the territory. This money will also be used to create transport and engineering infrastructure. According to the plan, allocation of funds from the budget will not be required. In total, more than 60 billion rubles will have to be invested in the project.
Megaline organized an international architectural competition to select the best international and domestic practices for territory development. The winner will be announced at SPIEF 2022, where Russian President Vladimir Putin is invited.
