Current State

Due to the small population and, as a result, a small number of cars Vecmīlgrāvis can be called one of the most ecologically clean regions of Riga; Trucks are sent to a detour (on Emmas-Meldru-Atlantias Street), and industrial facilities located in the micro-district do not pollute the atmosphere. The following enterprises are located in Vecmīlgrāvis: the Milgravis wood processing plant located on the outskirts of the microdistrict, a gasoline terminal distributing fuel to fuel trucks, the cargo port Rinuji, a shipbuilding plant (AS Rīgas Kuģu Būvētava ), the Mangali ship repair plant and the Manganal Ship Repair Plant and the Riga Municipal Gray Repair Plant and the Riga Municipal Gray Shipyard. .
The main street is named after Augusta Dombrovsky ( Augusta Dombrovska iela ).
