What benefits can residents of individual entrepreneurs count on?

Managing partner of the Veta expert group, Ilya Zharsky, believes that the fertilizer production project has the greatest chance of resumption. “This initiative is the most sustainable, since it is based on the growing demand for food, which, in turn, is based on the growing demand for agricultural products,” says the expert. “The production of fertilizers with good management is very profitable, the specified amount of investment could pay off in three to four years. In addition, fertilizers are built into the production chain of grain crops, so the emergence of such an enterprise in the IP could be useful for its anchor resident, Ladesol.”

The initiators of “small startups such as fish production,” according to Mr. Zharsky, would rather choose a more profitable and less expensive niche than return to previously announced projects.

How the Uvarovo industrial park was created

Three projects with a total investment of 14 billion rubles. were announced in early 2022. Biokor LLC from the Lipetsk region planned to invest 3.5 billion rubles. in the processing of grains into basic organic acids and proteins. It was planned to occupy 14.5 hectares of land for construction, and 80 people were supposed to work at the enterprise. The capital's Kraftfish LLC planned to build a fish farming complex on 1.5 hectares. The volume of investments was estimated at 400 million rubles.

Another resident of the industrial park was to become the Moscow LLC Industrial Innovations with a fertilizer production project. Its cost was estimated at 10 billion rubles, and 400 people could work in production.

The press service of the Uvarov administration confirmed that applications from investors “were submitted, but not confirmed.” They stated that they continue negotiations with other potential residents of the IP: “Another project is in development - the construction of an elevator by one of the main exporters of Russian grain. Negotiations are also underway with a company from Turkey.” The authorities have not yet disclosed the parameters of these projects. The administration also noted that they continue to “develop the IP infrastructure”: “Design and estimate documentation has been developed with the exact coordinates of the location of the internal infrastructure. The road leading to the park has been thoroughly repaired.”

The phones of Kraftfish LLC and Industrial Innovations did not answer. A representative of Biokor told Kommersant-Chernozemye that he “knows nothing” about the project in Uvarov.

The anchor and only resident of the IP is still Ladesol-Tambov LLC with the project of a biotechnological plant for the deep processing of grain to produce highly concentrated feed protein. In October last year it became known that its construction was suspended at the final stage due to lack of funding. After delays in payments, contractors demanded bankruptcy of the company.

First vice-president of the association of entrepreneurs “Opora Rossii” Pavel Sigal believes that projects in the Tambov industrial park “remain relevant for the market, but their implementation should be expected only after the end of the pandemic.” “The freezing of investment projects is most likely due to a lack of funding and the emergence of new risks for recoupment due to possible coronavirus restrictions,” believes Mr. Segal.

Coat of arms of Uvarov

The coat of arms was approved by decision of the Uvarovsky City Council of People's Deputies dated November 29, 2012 No. 378 and entered into the State Heraldic Register of the Russian Federation under No. 8060. History of the Uvarovsky Coat of Arms

Today, almost every Uvarov resident knows and is proud that our small town has its own official symbol - the coat of arms. Many can even reproduce from memory what is depicted on it. But few people know the name of the person who created the sketch of the coat of arms. And what meaning is put into everything depicted on this solemn symbol of the city is a mystery to most. And it was like this...

In the mid-nineties of the last century, the city administration received an official letter from Moscow, from the Heraldic Chamber. Its essence boiled down to the following: it is planned to publish a catalog dedicated to the heraldry of Russian cities, and if your city has a coat of arms, then please send its sketch, description, etc. for inclusion in this catalogue. At that time there was no coat of arms...

The main architect of the city at that time was Yuri Ivanovich Sushkov. Of course, the development of projects related to heraldry was not part of his direct job responsibilities. But he himself, as a native Uvarovite, often wondered: really, why doesn’t our city have its own official symbol? And I didn’t just think about it, but already tried to make sketches. One such option already existed by the time that Moscow letter arrived. But he was somehow too “productive”. Of all the symbols depicted on it, only the river was “historical”. The pipe personified the development of production: in those years the chemical plant, in fact, which made our Uvarovo famous for its power and scale, was still alive. And many other enterprises were still operating quite successfully. The third element of the trial version is wood. It, according to the plan of Yu. I. Sushkov, personified the famous Uvarov gardens. But it just so happened that in the imagination of everyone who looked at this coat of arms, it was not a garden that appeared, but a forest. It would also seem to be a symbol of Uvarov... But still, Sushkov didn’t like something, he felt some kind of incompleteness, inaccuracy, “unhistoricalness” or something. This option seemed to him not entirely successful even at the city level, not to mention presenting it to the Heraldic Chamber...

In general, there are certain conditions and procedures for approving symbolism. According to them, a competition was announced at the regional level for the best sketch of the coat of arms, which will subsequently be officially registered. A competition commission was created. Creative work went on for a month. As a result, several applications were submitted. The selection, as expected, was carried out anonymously. As a result, the work of Yuri Sushkov, as it later turned out, won. Only this was a completely different option. By decision of the City Council, the coat of arms was approved as the official heraldic symbol of Uvarov.

What is depicted on the new coat of arms?

While working on it, Yuri Ivanovich took into account all previous mistakes. And the main one was that the coat of arms should still reflect something historical, existing from time immemorial and to this day. And manufacturing enterprises are a fickle “phenomenon”: there is no longer a chemical plant, other enterprises have been given a long life. Ultimately, only the river remained from the previous symbolism. If we look at archival documents, it was precisely this that became the decisive factor in the fact that a settlement arose here at the very end of the 17th - beginning of the 18th centuries. Therefore, this symbol on the coat of arms is quite logical.

Yu. I. Sushkov did not refuse the symbol of the famous Uvarov orchards, the predominant of which were cherry trees. The fact is that Uvarovo has always been characterized by low building density; here and now, as before, one-story houses predominate, each with a plot of land with a garden. In the old days, Uvarov residents exported the harvest to fairs and bazaars, and even today, according to tradition, “caravans” with cherries and currants reach the capital in June-July. Abandoning the schematic tree, Yuri Ivanovich depicted two ripe cherries on green stalks as a symbol of the garden. Later, one berry was removed, and therefore the remaining one seems a little disproportionately large, hypertrophied...

Of the new symbols, three bees appeared on the coat of arms. They personify belonging to the Tambov region: there are also bees on the official coat of arms of our region. But if we think more deeply, beekeeping in former times, and now cultivated beekeeping are inherent in our settlement. Uvarov honey is also known far beyond the Tambov region for its healing and excellent taste.

As you know, the background of the Uvarov coat of arms is yellow. Why? Yuri Ivanovich himself explains it this way: Uvarovo is located in the middle, steppe zone, and according to all the canons of cartography it is customary to mark it in yellow. And from the professional, artistic side, all the attributes of the coat of arms: a red cherry on a green stalk, a blue river, and brown bees - all this looks more contrasting and more advantageous against this background.

This is it, the official heraldic symbol of Uvarov. When they asked its creator if he was proud of his creation, Yuri Ivanovich modestly replied: “No, it doesn’t take your breath away from pride.” It’s nice, of course, to see and realize that this is “your work.” And then, after thinking, he added: “Still, I made a certain contribution to the history of my native Uvarov.”
