Koszalin Close-up

Koszalin took various actions to maintain the dynamic pace of its development. Through firm financial policies, rationalized expenses and a budgetary surplus allocated to numerous investment, social, cultural and educational purposes, the most urgent needs and expectations of the Koszalinians had been met in the passing year.

Beautiful front elevations of buildings, new buses, repaired street surfaces, well-kept greenery, cleanness and order is all that strikes you while visiting the city. Indeed, in recent years a lot of changes took place in terms of city maintenance. As nothing speaks for a property owner better than mowed and well-kept lawns, cleanness and order, the Koszalinians have worked out model solutions and showed that the city can be kept in proper order.

Moreover, the city is focused on investments. Each year, approximately PLN 60 million is invested in Koszalin. During the last four years, a new gymnasium and more than 300 apartments have been built. The Jamno sewage treatment plant has been modernised and a new Mostowo water treatment plant has been launched. 10 km of cycling trails have been completed. The city authorities take care of the condition of the streets and stairways. More and more municipal housing and crossroads become renovated.

The city, apart from the changes to its image and the municipal economy, has achieved considerable international successes. Koszalin has been awarded with the Diploma and Honorary Flag and Emblem of the Council of Europe for its activities in respect to building a common Europe and creating a resident-friendly city.

Many processes to be completed in the coming years have been initiated. Yet, unemployment is one of its serious problems yet to be solved. Though with less and less subsidies from the central government, various measures are undertaken to combat unemployment. On the other hand, tax rebates are offered to investors and the city is promoted in such a way so as to attract capital and create new jobs.
