Since 2019, Rozvadiv has been home to Rozvadiv Building Materials TOV, a limestone and sand mining company under the Kovalska Industrial-Construction Group.[3]
A gas leak occurred at a drilling rig in Rozvadiv on 26 April 2023. As a result, 29 individuals were required to evacuate from their homes, and the supply of gas to the village was temporarily stopped.[4]
