Having unique architectural and natural heritage, Solta is considered one of
the most resourcefoul islands for the development of tourism and agriculture
with an ephasis on ecological presevation of island's environment.

Accordingly, a team of professionals has designed an infrastructure development
plan for the island of Solta with two major objectives: to improve the life
standard of the island's inhabitants and to preserve and protect the island's
environment and 206  archeological localities.

The demographical breakdown of the island's population has been going through a
negative selection. The number of elderly population has increased while the
birth-rate is very low.  The plan should ensure island's population growth by
2,100 inhabitants till 2013. It is also expected for the number of so called
seasonal inhabitants, "weekenders and tourists" to grow.

Also, the plan is designed so that it ensures the development of two major
industrial    branches: tourism in Livka, Maslinica and few areas in the
northern parts of the island; and agriculture centrally located. Eight villages
will be urbanized with the center being the village of Grohote. There will be
three focal geographical development centers:

1. the central (Grohote with the surrounding area)
2. Eastern (Stomorska, Livka and the surrounding area)
3. Western ( Maslinica and the surrounding area)

Running water will be brought from the main land through water supply system of
the  neighbouring island of Brac. Drainage network will be develop for each
settlement individually. Digital telecommunication system has been provided
from the mainland through the cabeles installed under the sea.
