Thus, a prefabricated houses manufacturing plant will be built on the territory of Novgorodskaya Special Economic Zone.

Residence at the SEZ will make it possible to ensure considerable reduction of production cost. Around 270 jobs will be created at the production facility. The amount of investment in the project will constitute over 3 billion rubles.
An important aspect that both the investor and the region’s head Andrey Nikitin pointed out is that start of production will promote the development of housing construction and related industries, and not only in our region.
