🇸🇪 Important step for Boden Industrial Park
Press release from Bodenxt
The Land and Environment Court has now announced that the appeals against the zoning plan for the so-called infrastructure corridor to the Boden Industrial Park are rejected. This means that the adoption decision is fixed and is another important step in Boden’s social transformation.
The detailed plan for the infrastructure corridor will enable and ensure that it is possible to connect the Boden Industrial Park to the existing rail infrastructure by rail. The detailed plan is a critical point for H2 Green Steel’songoing investment in a hydrogen-powered green steel production facility in Boden. Parallel to the railroad, a regular road will also be built.
The local plan was appealed at an earlier stage, but the appeals have now been rejected by the Land and Environment Court.
” It is a very complex detailed plan as we are moving close to existing buildings and important recreational areas. We feel that we have had an open and transparent dialog with everyone involved, which is very important in processes of this kind. Even if we are not quite in the case yet, I interpret the Land and Environment Court’s opinion as a positive signal, says Lars Andersson, Head of Planning and Development.
Mats Berg, head of the business community, also sees the latest announcement as a positive step in the right direction for growth in Boden.
” It is an extremely important part of the ongoing transition process. We have a lot of things going on right now where each one has its given part in the whole, this is one of the bigger ones. We are moving forward, which is important as many of the timetables we have to deal with are aggressive to say the least,” says Mats Berg.
A further opportunity to appeal is available until April 6, 2023.
