Gazprom to take part in creating park of 800th anniversary of Nizhny Novgorod

RELEASE

A working meeting between Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Gleb Nikitin, Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, took place today at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2021.

The parties discussed current issues related to their cooperation. Particular attention was paid to the ongoing implementation of the Nizhny Novgorod Region's gas supply and gas infrastructure expansion program for 2021–2025. It was noted that the work is going strictly on schedule. Specifically, two gas pipelines are now under construction in the Arzamassky District of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. The pipelines will make it possible to bring gas to the Solnechny microdistrict in the city of Arzamas and to the Khvatovka village in the Arzamassky District. Preparations are underway for the construction of another four gas pipelines, which are needed to provide gas to the residential microdistricts of Nizhny Novgorod and the Drozdovo village in the Gorodetsky District.
