Planning
Now OJSC "NIIP Gradostroitelstva" has completed the elaboration of an area planning scheme for Kingiseppsky district. This scheme determined the functional purpose of the project land. FSUE "RosNIPIUrbanistiki" completed a Master Plan of the Vistinsky settlement. The Master Plan includes the location of Ust-Luga Multimodal Complex as well. JSC "Lenaeroproject" made investigations and prepared a positive opinion on the technical possibility of constructing a cargo airport on the grounds of the Ust-Luga Multimodal Complex. The airport will be able to accommodate all types of cargo aircraft. Regulative bodies of the Leningrad region gave their approval to locate the cargo airport.
