Release
Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Alexander Beglov, Governor of St. Petersburg, signed an Agreement of Intent today at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2023.
The document is aimed at implementing a project for a culture-and-sports cluster on Petrovsky Island. The project will include the renovation of the Petrovsky Stadium and development of the adjacent territory. These efforts are planned to result in the creation of a new modern public space in this location, with areas for holding large-scale cultural and sports events, as well as fitness zones, walkways, and entertainment areas.
The renovation project of the Petrovsky Stadium is included in the Program (Roadmap) for cooperation in the implementation of projects for social and economic development of St. Petersburg. The Program, which was signed by Alexey Miller and Alexander Beglov in 2022, comprises over 60 socially significant projects in which Gazprom takes part.
A number of projects have already been implemented. For instance, a sports and health center in the town of Pushkin and a gas filling station in the settlement of Levashovo in the Vyborgsky District of St. Petersburg have been opened.
