Industrial halls will be built in Wałbrzych, Bolesławiec, Nowa Ruda and Kłodzko. The facilities will consist of a two-storey office section and a single-level production hall. The administrative section will have 250 m² at its disposal and will include rooms in an open space format. The 2,500 m² industrial section will be divided into 4 modules. The facilities will be equipped with air-source heat pumps and solar panels, which will support the central heating system. Construction of the 4 halls for SMEs should be completed in the fourth quarter of 2014.
“Not every company in this sector can afford such a large investment,” explains Barbara Kaśnikowska, president of the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone. “Small and medium-sized entrepreneurs will be able to rent ready-to-use premises and equip them only with their own machinery and production lines.”
Companies from the SME sector in the Wałbrzych Special Economic Zone have invested nearly PLN 1.4 billion. Small and medium-sized investors employ approximately 3,500 people in total. The primary benefit for entrepreneurs investing in economic zones is income tax exemption. The maximum level of public aid for medium-sized companies is as high as 45%, while for small and micro-enterprises it is as much as 55%.
