Infrastructure reserve planned

Poland’s Ministry of Infrastructure and Development has proposed a PLN 900 million reserve for renovation and construction of roads in 2016, Polish Radio reported on Monday. The money would come from the Polish budget and the sale of timber belonging to a state-owned The State Forests National Forest Holding. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Development has yet to conduct several consultations and analyses, but an amendment to an existing act on local governments’ proceeds has been already prepared. The amendment says that at least PLN 900 million will be dedicated to renovation and construction of roads in counties and municipalities. The local governments shall decide which infrastructure projects will be subsidized.
