City of Kuusamo’s plan is to establish new industrial area to Mäntyselkä. There is already a new waste water purification plant built in 2021 to Mäntyselkä. To speed up the implementation of investments at Mäntyselkä industrial area the project Road Connection to Mäntyselkä was founded. The core of the project is to build new road connection from road VT20 to Mäntyselkä. The length of the new road is 1400 meters.
