Huge investment zone set up near Jaworzno

The Dolnyśląsk Area of Economic Activity (Dolnośląska Strefa Aktywności Gospodarczej) located next to Jaworzno will cover more than 460 hectares, thus becoming one of the biggest investment areas in the country. The Deputy Minister of the Economy, Ilona Antoniszyn-Klik, said that special economic zones in Poland are expected to be "tax havens" for small and medium size Polish companies. "We want them to grow here and  retain their profits in the country...four years ago SEZs were believed to be targeted at rich, foreign companies, but today domestic firms open operate in the plants erected by SEZs themselves," she said. The investment area will function as a subzone of the Legnicka Special Economic Zone. Its launch is expected in September or October.
