A meeting was held at the town hall concerning funding by the voivodeship self-government, במסגרת the European Funds for Lower Silesia for 2021–2027, for a project to build a Spatial Information System in the northwestern part of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship. The Municipality of Bolesławiec is the leader of the project.
The conference was attended by Cezary Przybylski, Marshal of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Piotr Roman, Mayor of Bolesławiec, and Monika Rutyna, who is responsible for the project.
“We also care greatly about the even, sustainable development of the entire area of the voivodeship. Therefore, access to spatial information is invaluable for investors as well. Often, they do not need to come in person or wait at offices; they can simply obtain this information online. That is why we care so much about the entire voivodeship being covered by this system. I am also delighted that we can announce this fact to you here together with the mayor,” said Cezary Przybylski.
“If it were not for the tools created by this team—tools that first of all enable investors to obtain every piece of information they need—it would not only be a matter of the property register, but also of various kinds of information that often seem strange to us. But when an investor comes from another continent, we do not argue when they ask about the degree of shading on a plot, what lies beneath it, or where nearby there are intakes and various types of networks, whether gas, water and sewage, or telecommunications networks. They simply have to have this information. And then they see that, among the many municipalities they contact in different countries—because some investors have sought opportunities to invest not only in Poland, but also in Slovakia, Hungary and various other countries—they chose Bolesławiec,” said Piotr Roman.
“At this point, we are beginning the second stage of our project. The first stage involved digitizing the resources held by the municipalities and creating a basic geoportal system so that the municipalities could meet all the requirements imposed by the Act on Spatial Information Infrastructure, namely making available all data, local development plans and various other elements of municipal registers. At this stage of the project, we want to develop these tools so that they are even more accessible to residents and investors. We want to expand e-services that will make it possible to download various plan extracts, drawings and other information almost automatically. In addition, we want to develop our systems and connect them with financial and accounting systems so that the entire operation of the system and the handling of many matters can be much more efficient,” said Monika Rutyna.
