The Community is known for its element of intangible cultural heritage – the Mykolaivka painting style, which takes its origin and name from the village of Mykolaivka in the Novomoskovsk District. The first mentions of the painting style characteristic of this area appeared about two hundred years ago. It was used on chests used by households.

More than 115 enterprises operate in the territory of the Community, including 54 agricultural companies producing and processing agricultural products. In addition, the economy of the Community is formed by industrial enterprises and tourism.
Most of the enterprises forming the economy of the Community are engaged in agricultural production, production of building materials, forestry, trade, catering, hotel and tourist services.
The Community possesses land plots and real properties that are potentially attractive for investment. This is particularly important in the long term.
The Community can also attract tourists going to the recreation centres located in the territory of the Samarski Plavni regional landscape park near the road of state importance, where the hotel and restaurant business facilities already operate, and this will show the potential for the development of the economy based on tourism.
Also, the generation of renewable solar energy by private households is rapidly developing in the Community.

The field of education functions effectively in the Hubynykha Community as the largest part of funds is allocated for it from the Community budget. The Community runs sixteen institutions of general secondary education, five institutions of preschool education, and thirty-three educational institutions in the field of culture.
Community and War
In the first days of the invasion, the residents of the Hubynykha Community volunteered to defend their Motherland against the russian invaders. At present, 718 residents of the Hubynykha Community are serving in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and unfortunately, 18 defenders have died.
Those residents who are not fighting have an active position and actively work to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine, raise funds and participate in the production of goods that Ukrainian defenders need. Thus, the employees of the Settlement Council regularly take part in the weaving of camouflage nets and hand them over to military units.
Proactive residents raise funds to purchase military vehicles, drones and other ammunition. Charity fairs and other charity events are constantly held in the Community to raise funds for the needs of the military.
Culture Centres work to promote culture across the Community, develop children’s and youth talents, and involve the population in cultural and artistic activities. All the employees continue volunteering to help their fellow villagers, internally displaced persons and support the defenders of Ukraine. Cultural workers conduct master classes to make amulets for our soldiers, make trench candles.
The Community pays huge attention to helping internally displaced persons. Since the beginning of the war, the Hubynykha Community has sheltered more than 2,186 internally displaced persons, some of whom have become permanent residents and found jobs in the Community.
