"I defended Luhansk airport with a weapon in my hands, and I am the last person who would harm Lviv airport," — head of the Sokolnyky hromada on the development of territories around Lviv Airport
Taras Sulymko is a unique figure in local self-government: a veteran who fought with 2014, he took part in the battles for Luhansk Airport. Militants put a bounty on his head.
In 2015 he headed the Sokolnyky village council, and in 2020 he won the election for head of the united territorial community. During that time, the population of Sokolnyky adjacent to Lviv increased from 8,5 to 10,5 thousand residents. And by 2044 it could grow to 50 000, according to calculations based on the master plan and agreements with investors.
The regional state administration supported the development plan, and so did the airport. All that remains is the decision of the Lviv district council to increase the size of Sokolnyky. But Lviv is against it. Although all strict requirements for arranging the territory adjacent to the airport have been taken into account.
