In 2021, the funds from the State Regional Development Fund in the amount of UAH 4.5 billion have been allocated for the implementation of 306 projects. It concerns the construction and reconstruction of educational and medical institutions, CASPs, sports infrastructure, water supply and sewerage, etc. Also this year, the SRDF funding has been directed to the construction of four industrial parks, announced Deputy Minister for Communities and Territories Development Ivan Lukeria.

"The State Regional Development Fund is a tool for implementing strategically important projects for communities. For example, the production of ecological products, the development of rural, mountain and ecological tourism are significant for the mountainous territories of the Ukrainian Carpathians. In small villages, it is necessary to develop small and medium enterprises. In addition, the construction of the infrastructure of four industrial parks began this year, thus being the engines for economic growth in the regions. Minister Oleksii Chernyshov has emphasized for several times that the state is ready to financially support development projects in communities. So the ball is in the court of communities that have to prepare quality projects," said Ivan Lukeria.

It should be noted that in 2021 the construction and renovation of 121 educational institutions, 21 water supply and sewerage facilities, 38 medical and social protection facilities, 22 cultural facilities, 76 sports facilities, 6 environmental projects and 6 administrative service centers were financed.

It should be noted, earlier the Minister for Communities and Territories Development Oleksii Chernyshov reported that in 2022 communities would receive a record amount of support from the state for infrastructure development.
