Arkhangelsk Region Governor Igor Orlov proposed to transfer the headquarters of the United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC OJSC) to the Arkhangelsk Region, press center of the regional government says.
“I have approached RF Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev with a proposal to move the central office of the United Shipbuilding Corporation to Severodvinsk or Arkhangelsk. Dmitry Medvedev has supported me in that. This could significantly increase tax revenues for the regional government,” the Governor said when commenting on the meeting with the RF Prime Minister .
The idea to transfer headquarters of the state corporations from Moscow to the regions was first forwarded in 2013 by Valentina Matvienko, Chairman of the Council of the Russian Federation. Her proposal was approved by RF President Vladimir Putin.
