On October 14, 2022, we announced the results of the fifth call for proposals for the Government Strategic Investment Programme. The mayor of the city of Jawor received, from Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, a pledge of PLN 97,945 thousand for the development of the Lower Silesian Economic Activity Zone S3 Jawor. The new funds will enable the construction and modernisation of road infrastructure, technical road infrastructure as well as electricity, water and sewerage systems.

”We are preparing investments, we are preparing grain for future crops. Road, water, sewerage, fiber optic and energy infrastructure is a prerequisite for attracting investors. This is happening today, right here, before our very eyes”, stressed the Prime Minister.

Developing the Lower Silesian Economic Activity Zone

In 2017, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki took part in the ceremony of laying the cornerstone for the construction of a factory producing engines and batteries for electric cars, operating within the Lower Silesian Economic Activity Zone.

”At the beginning of 2016, we discussed this with Marshal Elżbieta Witek. We talked about what needed to be done to encourage these investors, set up procedures, prepare infrastructure, and we succeeded even then”, stressed the Head of the Polish Government. And he added: ”today, I would like to say that we have further investments in store for the wonderful Jawor area. It is precisely the successful developement of infrastructure that these investments depend on.

Local authorities to receive almost PLN 5 billion for the development of industrial zones

The Government Strategic Investment Programme provides comprehensive support to local authorities throughout Poland. Government funds for cities, municipalities, counties and voivodeships create opportunities for further investments that will accelerate the development of the entire country. Cooperation between central and local government enables new investments that meet the expectations of residents. Tightening the state budget is what makes it possible to implement new investment schemes.

”I would like to assure all investors, including capital and financial investors, as well as financial markets that this type of care for the budget and for the public finance system will guarantee stability in the future. In this difficult year, 2023-2024, we shall make sure that we maintain the stability of public finances by financing the Polish budget within the right framework, with the appropriate amount of restraint”, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki assured.

As part of the fifth edition of the Government Strategic Investment Programme, municipalities, counties and voivodeships will receive a total of nearly PLN 5 billion from the state budget. This is money that local authorities will allocate to the development of industrial zones. Note only is this particularly important for attracting new investment to the region but also for increasing exports and creating new jobs. Non-returnable co-financing will amount to up to 98% of the value of the investment. The minimum level of local authority contribution is 2%.
