Memorial Square is located in an industrial area where the facades of buildings have not always been given due attention, many of them require renovation. The owners are ready to carry out the improvement at their own expense. For one of them, the creation of a memorial square on the site of the camp is of particular importance — his relatives were prisoners of the «Potato Town»— said the head of the Crimean parliament.
