The business plan provides for investing about $13 million in setting up modern and environmentally friendly infrastructure to transport and sell liquefied petrol gas. Over 80% of the investments will be spent on buying vehicles. All the services will be rendered to companies outside the Republic of Belarus. The project will enable the company to more than triple the export of gas transportation services within five years. The new FEZ resident will be located at the Yuzhnaya site, the town of Orsha.
