Pruszcz Gdański. City of changes and development

A visible division of the city into Eastern and Western part. No roads - not only estate roads but also roads of importance for the whole city. Residual sewerage. No defined city centre and a sugar factory functioning in the very centre creating a negative image of the city. Industrial areas, increasing unemployment, no recreational areas and no cultural offer.

It is hard to believe that 20 years ago it was what Pruszcz Gdański looked like. Today it isa modern developing city near the Tricity agglomeration. It is inhabited by educated and dynamic young people. It is an important road and rail hub and a place where A1 freeway begins. Today's Pruszcz Gdański is one of the most attractive cities in northern Poland which is confirmed both by investors and the results of national economic rankings. The city is friendly for its citizens and for investors. It became possible thanks to ceaseless work. The new city centre, recreation and green areas, the culture park and the reconstructed city park came into being. Most of the main roads were renovated, and new ones have been built all the time.

Next to the Gdańsk Bypass of and the freeway the industrial district is situated. Many well-known companies such as Investa, Crown Cork, Poczta Polska, LPP have their seats in the Baltic Investment Zone. Investors say that they were encouraged to choose this localization by a friendly policy - the assistance from the early stage and easy for-malities. The fact that the city is very well communicated is the next asset.

An undeniable attraction that will change the image of the city by the end of July is the reconstructed trade factory from the Roman times. It will be a place full of life, Iwhere history meets modernity and where visitors can feel the spirit of old times. This area will be used to organize open air events, happenings and artistic undertakings. Just next to the factory, in the amphitheatre of the International Baltic Cultural Park there are many cultural events taking place: the summer stage of Wybrzeże Theatre, concerts, cabarets and many others.

After 20 years Pruszcz Gdański can be described as a city of sustainable development thanks to continuous efforts, not only to develop infrastructure but also to invest in culture.
