"The Far Eastern Hectare" program was extended to the Arctic
Written by НаталиPresident of Russian Federation Vladimir Putin has signed a law extending "The Far Eastern Hectare" program to the territory of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, the corresponding document is published on the official Internet portal of legal information.
"The Far Eastern Hectare" program, which allows citizens of the Russian Federation to choose, register and get a land plot in the Far East for free, was launched in 2016. During its operation, more than 90 thousand people received land plots.
As the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Mikhail Mishustin explained earlier, the borders of the territory in the Arctic will be expanded, within which it will be possible to get a preferential hectare. Citizens will be able to take land plots under a simplified procedure and in a shorter time. At the same time, special attention will be paid to preserving the traditions and culture of indigenous, small-numbered peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East, the head of the Cabinet of Ministers noted.
In addition, the law allows for the possibility for a citizen who has successfully mastered and acquired ownership or lease of "the Far Eastern hectare" previously provided to him, in addition to it, to receive a land plot with an area of up to one hectare. Such measures will make it possible to more actively involve unused lands in economic turnover both in the Far Eastern Federal District and in the Arctic zone, Mishustin believes. And most importantly, in his opinion, these hectares will give people an incentive to start their own business, build housing for their family, increase their income, make life more comfortable.
