Saarbrücken (dpa / lrs) - Saarland plans to invest around 65 million euros in the creation of industrial areas for new companies to settle in.
In addition to new areas, old commercial and industrial areas are to be made more usable.
This emerges from the new “Master Plan 2”, which Economics Minister Anke Rehlinger (SPD) and Thomas Schuck, Managing Director of the economic development agency gwSaar, presented on Thursday.
Under the leadership of the state-owned company for economic development, a total of over 100 areas throughout the Saarland were examined in the last few months.
Above all, the size, flexibility of use, the expected duration of development and spatial location were evaluated.
The new plan now shows ten locations where short-term development planning is possible.
According to estimates by the ministry, around 120 hectares could be realized in the end.
"So that the structural change in Saarland can succeed, we have to convince in the international competition for industrial settlements," said Rehlinger.
Important settlement decisions such as those of the automotive supplier SVolt and the kitchen manufacturer Nobilia have shown that the Saarland has everything to offer that is important for companies: skilled workers, research and know-how.
According to Rehlinger, however, a forward-looking land policy is also required, which is now being implemented with “Master Plan 2”.

Rehlinger also deduces that the need is great from the quick and good settlement successes of the first master plan from 2007: 45 companies have found their headquarters on its premises, and 3350 jobs have also been created.
