Special economic zones (SEZ) Novocheboksarsk and Khimprom will appear in Chuvashia and the Volgograd region. The resolutions on this were signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, reports official website of the Government.
Enterprises of the chemical, woodworking, food and other industries will operate in the Novocheboksarsk industrial production SEZ. Five companies that will become residents of the new special economic zone intend to attract about 13 billion rubles of investment and create 1086 jobs.
Resident enterprises of the special economic zone of the Khimprom industrial production type in the Volgograd Region will launch the production of methanol, acetic acid, bioproteins, plant protection chemicals and other products.
To date, five enterprises have announced their intention to work in this SEZ. Residents will invest over 91 billion rubles in their projects and create 837 jobs.
The appearance of a special economic zone in the Volgograd region in the future should restore its position as one of the leading regions in the production of chemical products.
Special economic zones are created for the development of the manufacturing industry, high-tech sectors of the economy, tourism and port infrastructure. Placement in the SEZ provides businesses with a number of advantages. Thus, residents can enjoy tax benefits and customs preferences, as well as count on reduced rental payments.
