Representatives of Chrudim have approved the purchase of land, which will expand the industrial zone Chrudim – West. The city will pay almost CZK 30 million for less than three hectares. The land has 11 owners, one of them lives in the USA, Deputy Mayor Petr Lichtenberg (Chrudimáci) told reporters today.
The city will buy about 2.5 hectares of space for 650 crowns per square meter, the remaining part for 30 crowns per square meter.
The current industrial zone is almost full and those interested are still in demand for more space. For example, the Chrudim company CityZen would like to build there, which intends to build a line for the production of so-called smart T-shirts.
The West industrial zone with an area of 33 hectares, the establishment of which cost Chrudim about CZK 100 million, is largely full. For example, the company Dřevovýroba Ficek from Chrudim or the manufacturer of tubes for Siag wind farms work here. The city also sold the land to the company Sofiko, which produces baking sheets and various types of molds for bakeries, or the manufacturer of car silencers Kayaba. The plots in the West industrial zone are also owned by the Austrian chain manufacturer Pewag or the Chrudim companies Monas Trade Company, Redleta and Burkoň or the Slatiňany company Stavební huť. The town hall has kept the land on which the city wants to build a second larger collection yard. The smaller industrial zone north at the exit from the city to Pardubice is already sold out.
