Abstract: The relevance of the research topic lies in the high role played by the development of infrastructure in rural areas. Infrastructure issues in rural areas are given great attention by the relevant state authorities and top officials of the country. The importance of infrastructure development in rural areas, its current lag behind the pace of development of the agro-industrial complex-all this has been repeatedly mentioned by the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. Putin: «... the overall level of provision of rural areas with all types of landscaping, including water supply, heating, gas, and housing and communal services, is just over 34‰, while in cities it is almost 80‰», the President noted at a meeting of the State Council dedicated to the state's agrarian policy at the end of 2019. In May 2020, at a meeting on the situation in agriculture and the food industry, he reiterated the importance and need for high rates of infrastructure development in rural areas and the emergence of modern engineering networks. The aim of the research was to assess development prospects of engineering infrastructure in rural areas. Within the framework of the study, methods of comparative analysis, data comparison, and the method of constructing a trend line were used. Based on the forecast, the values of the target indicators (the level of gasification and the availability of drinking water in rural areas) were determined by 2025. In the course of the study, it was determined that, while maintaining the current pace, according to the departmental target program (DTP) «The modern look of rural areas» will not be possible to achieve the set targets for the level of gas supply (71,1‰) and water (79,5‰) by 2025, meanwhile according to «The sustainable development of rural areas» target indicators (61,9‰ and 67,3‰, respectively) are achievable. Based on the results obtained, were identified problems that have a negative impact on the achievement of the set targets.
