Dynamic Chojnice

In the last two years, the Land of Chojnice has become more and more popular and competitive among other regions of Pomorskie Province, whilst maintaining constant dynamic growth.

All development-oriented actions taken by the Town Hall, such as modernising of the town centre or the sewage recycling plant, upgrading main roads, constructing of the Water Park and the soccer stadium, restoring the former hospital buildings, are directly targeted at further social and economic growth. These investment projects were partly covered by the EU funds. With the help of Chojnice County, in order to attract prospect investors, a branch of the Pomeranian Special Economic Zone was created. It is the area of ca. 37 acres, adjacent to its sister zone in the county of Czluchow. The argument in favour the zone is its location and easy connection with other parts of the Province via the 22 international road from Kaliningrad in Russia to Berlin. The zone is situated 2,5 miles from the Customs Office and the railroad station. The main Polish ports - Gdansk and Gdynia, and the Lech Walesa International Airport are just 75 miles away.

Chojnice's Town Council has passed a packet of resolutions called "Chojnice's Preferences for Industry, Trade and Service". These resolutions favour active entrepreneurs who already run successful businesses in our town, or are about to start up. Prospect investors also have quite large resources of highly qualified labour force to choose from. A well-developed system of vocational training in the schools offers a possibility of getting useful skills, depending on the investors' needs. There are also two high learning schools in the town, which allow for a choice of professionals in such fields as pedagogy, economy, mechanics, IT, marketing and management.

The leading branches of economy in Chojnice are metal, wood and furniture, food and construction industries. Chojnice has attracted capital from Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Effective promoting of economy, tourism, culture and sport has contributed to even bigger success of the town. Our business community perfectly understands the town's development mission of the town and actively supports the promotional activities. For example, a lucrative contract between Mostostal and Finnish manufacturer of gantries, KCI Konecranes, was signed on 20 October 2005, in the presence of two ski jump stars, Robert Mateja and Janne Ahonen.

Superb neighbourhood of Chojnice, with its nature and ever-growing tourist and sport base, helps tourism to constantly grow and expand. The Town Development Program has already started bringing results such as increase in employment.
