Katowice industrial park to expand and give jobs boost

The plan envisages the modernisation of seven existing buildings and the construction of two new ones, in Katowice and Chełm Śląski. The total cost of the project will amount to zł.53.8 million. "In August last year we signed an agreement with the Enterprise Development Agency (ARP) for a subsidy of zł.37.9 million," said Bartłomiej Mozes from Euro-Centrum. The expanded center will have at its disposal over 12,000 square meters of office, service, warehouse and exhibition space. "We hope to attract companies from the high technology sector. We project that thanks to this investment as many as 71 entities will start operating in the park, giving jobs to 840 people," said Jerzy Kwiatkowski, financial controller of the project. The first business premises are scheduled to be put to use in Q3 2006. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 9) A.F.
