The Solotvyno territorial community, the initiator of the creation of the recently registered industrial park (IP) “Maramuresh” (Transcarpathian region), intends to attract up to 20 woodworking and furniture industries, with which preliminary negotiations have already been held, People’s Deputy Dmitry Kisilevsky said.
“There is still a field with a total area of 33.2 hectares on the outskirts of the village on its (park – IF-U) territory. But, after talking with the chairman of the community, Vasily Yovdiy, I was firmly convinced that in a year or two this territory could become a powerful industrial center,” he wrote on Facebook on Friday after visiting the community.
According to Kisilevsky, the first investors in the IP should be companies from neighboring Romania.
“If these plans are implemented, Maramuresh will create 3,000 new jobs for the Solotvyno community with a salary of at least UAH 15,000 per month,” the report says.
Kisilevsky writes that Transcarpathians, who now work “literally across the river” at Romanian enterprises, will be able to fill the vacancies, and Yovdiy expects to create prerequisites for the return of 10-12 thousand inhabitants of the community from abroad.
“The main highlight of Maramuresh should be a new cargo customs checkpoint between Ukraine and Romania, the construction of which is now being discussed between the countries. Convenient logistics will create unique opportunities for the industrial park,” the people’s deputy wrote.
As reported, IE “Maramuresh” was included in the Register of industrial (industrial) parks on June 3, 2022. The estimated amount of investment in its creation, according to the concept, is UAH 2.83 billion, including UAH 352 million in infrastructure development.
On June 21, 2022, the Verkhovna Rada adopted in general bills on tax and customs benefits for industrial parks.
“As the initiator and co-author of these laws, I look forward to their signing by the president in the near future,” Kisilevsky wrote.
