Tech park problems

In 1974 the University of Agriculture acquired the ground. Today, the heirs of the previous owners of the land claim the university did not have the right to sell this four-hectare plot as since 1998 it was not its property. Thus, they have petitioned city hall to get the land back. They used the argument that for 25 years no investments were developed on the disputed land.

The President of Lublin rejected the petition. After that, the case passed to the voivode of the region, who in turn cancelled the president's decision. This stand was then maintained by the Central Administrative Court. Then the President refused to give the land back and the voivode cancelled this decision once again. Experts say the former owners were paid for the land.

The President of Lublin promised to settle the issue before the end of the year and the voivodship authorities, which are the main investor in the park, claim they were not aware of the legal complications. The project has already cost zł.15 million.
