Nova Odesa

Today, the community is close to the front and provides support to internally displaced persons and the Southern Front. Logistics in the community were most affected by the destruction of the bridge from Nova Odesa to the village of Troitske by the Russian army.Destruction of the bridge from Nova Odesa to the village of Troitske.

Community volunteers provide people with necessary medicines, medical supplies, food, etc.

Most people sheltered by the community are from the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions. In addition, 170 children who ended up in the community during the war and more than 2,000 children born in the community received toys and sweets for the Children’s Day.A separate area of work of local volunteers is the repair of vehicles of defenders of Ukraine.

In the 18th century, there were winter quarters of the Zaporozhian Cossacks on the site of the modern community. To protect against the attack of the Crimean Tatars and Turks in 1776, the Enlisted Cossack Regiment was stationed above the Southern Bug, formed from Zaporozhian Cossacks, who founded a number of suburbs in the same year, including Fedorivka, later renamed to New Odesa.

After the victory, the community plans to return to the pre-war strategic plans for community development and intends to: 

1. further develop and apply the latest technologies in the processes of oil production, processing of grain into flour and processing of dairy products.
2. create an industrial park on the territory of the community;
3. create a “green neighbourhood” that will switch to full use of green electricity, heating and water supply;
4. develop green tourism, because the territory of the community has incredibly beautiful nature, especially near the floodplain of the South Bug River.
5. develop the extractive industry, as there are limestone deposits on the territory of the community.

The community is mostly agriculture oriented. Almost 1,000 farms operate here: 10 large ones, 83 medium ones and almost 850 small ones. Since 2010, a branch of JV Nibulon LLC has been operating here. It is one of the largest Ukrainian agricultural producers and exporters.
