One of the main issues of the 19th century was the remoteness of Krasnoufimsk from the major cities of Perm and Yekaterinburg, and thus railroad. The town did not have any other transport links apart from unpaved roads and the river Ufa.
In 1915 the railway station was finally built in Krasnoufimsk, and in 1916 the railroad service was launched.
In 1930 Krasnoufimsk became the center of a large agricultural district. Significant investments in its infrastructure provided the town with a machine and tractor station, agriproducts processing plants, selective station, and other agriculture related enterprises.

During the later half of the 20th century town's authorities carried on the development of comfortable housing, and agribusiness infrastructure.
