CITY PROFILE CHERVONOHRAD DEMOGRAPHIC ECONOMIC FISCAL Dear Friends! It is a great honour for me as Mayor to present you with the City of Chervonohrad Profile. This important document was created as part of the Building Capacity in Evidence-Based Economic Development in Ukrainian Oblasts and Municipalities (EBED) project—a joint Canada–Ukraine initiative. Chervonohrad is a special city located in the northern part of Lviv region. It is a major centre of the mining and processing industries in the Lviv-Volyn hard coal basin, and a place of welcoming and industrious people. Today we must make every effort to ensure the ongoing sustainable growth and development for our city, so that year after year it becomes a better place in which to live. This requires creating the proper environment for making long-term managerial decisions and providing in-depth monitoring of the key indicators of municipal development. The City of Chervonohrad Profile contains exhaustive information on the social and economic environment of the city. The information contained here will help us attract the additional investment we need to develop new industries and expand and improve our existing ones. This document provides a base upon which to build the innovative programs and projects that are key to the development of our city. On behalf of Chervonohrad’s residents and myself, I want to thank the Canadian International Development Agency and our Ukrainian colleagues from the EBED project, municipal government institutions, and the Chervonohrad City Council for their efforts and contributions to the creation of the City of Chervonohrad Profile. I am confident that this document will prove a valuable resource for city residents, government officials, investors, scientists, experts, and all others who care about Chervonohrad’s future.
