KALEVALA/PYHÄ HENRIK - Success in the New Frontiers
New Fennia settlement venture to be made permament
Owing to satisfactory results attained by the New Frontiers Program commissioned by Marshal Häyhä and his ministers earlier this year, Kalevala now plans to grant permanent sanction to the program, which has sought to attract new settlers from Fennia Proper to the Protected Territories of New Fennia in Himyar. Senior officials of the Protected Territories administration are in Kalevala this week meeting with counterparts from the Union administration, including the Stateholder Marshal himself as well as Overseas Minister August Lamminhovi. The stated purpose of the meeting is to discuss the continued development of the Protected Territories and the involvement of the administration in Kalevala for this process.
The New Frontiers Program aims to attract new domestic settlement from Fennia Proper into the Protected Territories through measures such as the low-cost sales of administration- controlled land to new settlers, tax incentives to new settlers as well as landowners willing to rent them farmland, as well as the construction of low-cost rental apartments for people settling into the cities in New Fennia. Additionally, as part of the program the Overseas Office has established several internal migration offices in Union cities, where potential migrants into New Fennia may receive advice on migration prospects and opportunities of employment within the Protected Territories.
"The New Frontiers Program strenghtens the essential part the Protected Territories play in guaranteeing the overall welfare of the Union as a whole", Marshal Joakim Häyhä said today as he addressed an assembly of the Union Congress, "This initiative will continue to benefit both the residents of Fennia Proper as well as Union citizens in the Protected Territories and the Himyaris enjoying the benevolent protection of the Fennian people." Marshal Häyhä referred to the continued need of skilled and motivated labor in the Protected Territories, both in the strong farming and mining enterprises there and in the development and growth of urban infrastructure in growing cities such as Pyhä Henrik.
The decision to make the program permanent, together with the provision of expanded financial allowances in the future Union Budgets, represents one facet of Kalevala's response to the population growth and urbanization experienced in Fennia Proper. Internal migration from rural towns and settlements into Fennian major cities is estimated by the National Development Office to continue to grow. Altough new housing and employment ventures commissioned under tripartite cooperation of the National Development Office, the National Labour Front and private entrepreneurs are considered the primary vehicle for the provision of renewed opportunities for new urban residents, Kalevala is also aiming to encourage continued Fennian migration into the Protected Territories.
