Last year was a record year for Arvidsjaur when it comes to start-ups, 60, and the trend continues.

So far this year, 39 new companies have been started.

- And we only had one bankruptcy last year and none this year, says Anne Enoksson, business strategist at Arvidsjaur municipality.

"We are all positively affected"

She says that several major retail chains have also shown interest in Arvidsjaur.

The re-establishment of K4 is one of the reasons why positive winds are now blowing in the municipality, according to Anne Enoksson.

- We are all positively affected by this, you hear it from both citizens and entrepreneurs.
