New Moscow agglomeration: Lyubertsy and Dzerzhinsky to merge
Moscow region authorities have decided to merge two neighboring towns, Lyubertsy and Dzerzhinsky, into a single urban district.
The decision was made at a meeting of the Moscow Regional Duma on Tuesday, November 15.
The new district will be called Lyubertsy City District and will have a population of over 300,000 people.
The merger is expected to take place on January 1, 2025.
The authorities say that the merger will improve the quality of life for residents of both towns by providing them with access to better public services and infrastructure.
The merger will also make it easier for businesses to operate in the area by reducing bureaucratic hurdles.
The decision to merge Lyubertsy and Dzerzhinsky is part of a wider effort by the Moscow region authorities to create a more integrated and efficient urban agglomeration.
In recent years, the Moscow region has seen a number of mergers between neighboring towns and cities.
These mergers have helped to improve the quality of life for residents and make the region more attractive to businesses.
