An area of about 3 000 accommodation places has been planned for the Vuokatti Itärinteiden area. EU funding of around €3 million is now being sought for the construction of infrastructure in the area.
Sotkamo wants more accommodation capacity. Last winter’s Winter Youth Olympic Games showed that accommodation capacity at major events is at a premium.
According to Kilpeläinen, the Vuokatinvaara eastern slopes area is already zoned. The plan will be announced if project funding is secured for the area.
In total, the construction of the infrastructure would cost around EUR 4.2 million. The EU funding will be decided on Tuesday 14 May.
