“We plan to engage in the construction of both housing and infrastructure: transport, engineering and social facilities. These will be trial objects. Over the next few months, we will already develop and present to our colleagues a concept that they will approve, and we will actively work further. If everything goes well, in the near future we will expand our work to several more facilities,” the minister added.
